TO  tup:  many  patrons  whose  LOVAI,  SII'I'ORT  HAS 
MADE  POSSH^l.i:  SIX  YEARS  OF  DRAMA  AT  THE  CASTLE 
SQUARE    THEATRE 


The  Castle  Square  Theatre 


"  That  Exemplary  Theatre  in  Boston,'" 

William    Dean   Howklls 

TO  successfully  complete  six  years  of  continuous  dramatic 
performances,  with  twelve  appearances  for  each  of  the 
three  hundred  and  twelve  weeks,  is  a  record  which  has  made 
the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Dramatic  Stock  Company  known 
throughout  America,  and  gained  for  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  a  prominent  place  in  the  dramatic  history  of  Boston. 
The  patrons  of  this  playhouse  have  always  shown  a  peculiar 
personal  interest  in  its  achievements  and  the  work  of  those 
who  have  from  time  to  time  been  members  of  the  stock  com- 
pany identified  with  it,  and  the  demand  which  has  resulted  in 
the  present  publication  is  typical  of  the  fidelity  and  loyalty 
of  the  Boston  amusement  seeking  public. 

One  of  the  most  noteworthy  features  of  the  Castle 
Square  Theatre  is  the  extreme  liberality  of  the  management. 
Everything  is  done  for  the  convenience  and  comfort  of  the 
patrons,  and  great  care  is  taken  to  remove  all  the  objectionable 
features  so  common  in  public  places. 

That  part  of  the  theatre  technically  known  as  the  "front 
of  the  house,"  including  ticket-sellers,  ushers  and  the  many 
other  attaches  who  work  for  the  convenience  and  comfort  of 
patrons,  has  been  instructed  to  leave  no  stone  unturned  that 
every  patron  be  pleased,  and  in  departing  carry  away  good 
tidings  of  great  joy.  The  immense  audiences,  including,  es- 
pecially at  the  matinees,  an  unusually  large  number  of  women 
and  children,  are  the  best  testimony  to  that  appreciation 
which  excellence  begets.  The  list  of  regular  subscribers  Avho 
come  without  fail  to  every  play,  many  enthusiasts  coming 
twice  a  week,  is  a  large  one,  guaranteeing  a  patronage' of 
which  any  theatre  management  might  justly  be  proud.'  =  ''"' 


Six  Years  of  Drama 


Individuals  of  the  highest  standing  in  the  community  not 
only  patronize  these  productions  from  week  to  week,  but  also 
give  the  management  the  benefit  of  advice  and  encouragement, 
expressed  both  privately  and  in  the  public  i)rints,  some  highly 
entlorsing  the  scheme  as  a  great  public  educator  wcnthy  of 
CDUScientious  support  by  all,  including  the  most  critical. 
Msitors  from  other  cities,  actors  and  dramatic  managers,  have 
come  to  see  for  themselves  the  enterprise  of  this  theatre,  and 
many  have  taken  their  cue  from  the  Castle  Scjuarc  Theatre  in 
similar  undertakings. 

The  management  has  reason  to  congratulate  itself  be- 
cause of  words  of  praise  from  distinguished  critics  and  other 
literary  and  artistic  men  and  women  of  our  own  and  other 
cities,  who  have  shown  their  appreciation  by  many  hearty 
words.  The  Boston  newspapers  have  realized  the  character 
and  significance  of  the  work  going  on,  and  have  been  kind, 
heljjful  and  discriminating  in  their  criticisms. 

At  all  times,  the  best  obtainable  talent  in  America  has 
been  secured  and  all  plays  have  been  staged  with  the  best 
scenery,  costumes  and  other  accessories  procurable.  The 
completeness  of  the  productions  has  been  a  matter  of  great 
surjjrise  to  those  visiting  the  theatre  from  time  to  time  and 
has  been  a  source  of  great  pleasure  to  the  long  list  of  regular 
patrons,  wh(;  have  given  in  return  a  loyalty  never  before 
equalled  in  lioston.  On  the  part  of  the  company  the  results 
ha\-e  been  reached  only  by  means  of  continuous  study  from 
morning  until  the  fall  of  the  curtain  on  the  evening  perform- 
ance. 

A  few  statistics  will  best  show  the  extent  of  the  Castle 
Square  Theatre  dramatic  season  of  the  last  six  years  and  the 
magnitude  of  the  work  accomplished  in  this  time.  The 
original  intent  in  establishing  the  stock  company  was  to  pre- 
sent a  new  play  every  week,  and  this  ]x>licy  has  been  followed 
persistently  except  at  limes  when  the  continuation  of  an 
attraction  was  made  imperative  by  the  demands  of  the  ])ublic. 
During  the  three  hundred  antl  twelve  weeks  since  the  begin- 
ning of  the  career  of  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Dramatic 
Stock  Company,  May  3,  1S97,  there  have  been  produced  two 


Casti.k  Suuake  Thkatrk 


hundred  and  twelve  different  plays,  and  of  these,  forty-six 
have  been  repeated  one  or  more  times,  and  among  the  remark- 
able successes  which  have  interrupted  the  following  of  the 
policy  of  weekly  productions  may  be  named  :  "  The  Prodigal 
Daughter,"  given  six  consecutive  weeks ;  "  Bells  of  Ilasle- 
mere,"  "Heart  of  Maryland,"  "Great  Ruby,"  and  "A  Tem- 
perance Town,"  given  for  four  weeks  each. 

With  the  exception  of  the  two  days'  closing  of  the 
theatre  at  the  time  of  the  death  of  President  McKinley,  the 
stock  company  has  been  in  continuous  service,  winter  and 
summer,  for  six  years  and  has  therefore  appeared  3,700  times 
since  its  original  organization.  Of  these,  one  hundred  and 
eight  appearances  of  the  company  were  made  at  Music  Hall 
in  the  summer  months  of  1902,  when  the  Castle  Square  Theatre 
was  necessarily  closed  for  structural  repairs. 

It  is  interesting  to  know  that  it  has  been  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  Stock  Company  and  the  continuous  management  of 
those  at  present  directing  the  affairs  of  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  that  have  made  this  record,  the  public  having  accepted 
the  inevitable  changes  in  the  organization  from  time  to  time 
with  every  evidence  of  confidence  in  the  judgment  of  those  in 
control.  In  the  six  years,  besides  the  regular  members  of 
the  company,  there  ha\'e  appeared  a  large  number  of  specially 
engaged  actors,  who  have  filled  the  places  of  those  away  on 
vacations  or  enjoying  a  much  needed  rest.  In  addition,  hun- 
dreds of  young  people  have  gathered  the  rudiments  of  the 
theatrical  profession  by  temporary  identification  with  the 
organization. 

The  book  contains  the  pictures  of  nearly  all  who  have 
been  regular  members  of  the  compan\'  during  the  six  years. 

Among  those  who  have  appeared  in  principal  parts  and 
whose  pictures  are  not  found  in  the  following  pages  may  be 
mentioned :

Of  the  ''extra  people"  who  have  gained  vakiable  ex-

now  playing  principal  parts  in  other  companies,  note  is  made 
of  the  following  :

The  editor  has  endeavored  to  make  as  complete  a  record 
of  programs  as  possible,  but  takes  no  responsibility  for  any 
inaccuracies  arising  from  tempcjrary  changes  in  the  casts  on 
account  of  illness  or  indisposition  of  the  actors  or  from  any 
other  causes. 

The  record  is  reprinted  from  the  programs  used  in  the 
theatre  during  the  several  weeks,  and  will  be  found  to  be  sub- 
stantially correct.  In  the  case  of  plays  running  more  than 
one  week  the  changes  for  each  week  ha\e  been  noted,  and 
careful  account  has  been  taken  of  the  musical  programs. 

The  short  stories  accompanying  the  pictures  might  have 
been  extended  indefinitely,  but  the  individual  recollections  of 
the  reader  will  prove  far  more  satisfactory  than  any  words 
that  might  have. been  added  by  the  editor. 

The  book  has  been  compiled  and  printed  to  supply  the 
demand  of  many  patrons  of  the  house,  who  desire,  a  remem- 
brance of  the  pleasant  hours  spent  with  their  friends  across 
the  footlights.

JAMES   R.   PITMAN 

Mr.  Pitman,  the  stage  director  of  Castle  Square  Theatre, 
has  acquired  his  great  wisdom  of  stage  affairs  from  his  forty- 
five  years'  experience  with  plays  and  actors.  For  more  than 
twenty-five  years  he  superintended  the  productions  at  the 
Boston   Museum    at  a  time    when  the  "  (^Id  Museum "  was 


Six  Years  of  Drama 


making  stage  history.  From  the  knowledge  derived  from  his 
personal  acquaintance  with  the  great  stock  actors  and  "stars" 
of  the  past  half  century  he  has  framed  a  standard  of  excel- 
lence which  he  strives  to  reach  in  all  his  work. 

With  the  excej^tion  of  a  half  dozen  plays  he  has  directed 
ever)'  production  during  the  past  six  years.  His  success  dur- 
ing these  years  has  afforded  pleasure  to  many  thousands  of 
patrons. 

Unremitting  in  his  labor,  he  personally  arranges  every 
detail  behind  the  curtain.  His  "plots"  for  the  various  heads 
of  departments  "back  of  the  house"  are  marvels  of  com- 
pleteness. 

The  "  plot  "  for  the  stage  carpenter  shows  what  scenery 
is  to  be  built  or  arranged.  The  "plot"  for  the  scenic 
artist  guides  the  scene  painters  in  their  work.  The  property 
man  is  given  a  "plot  "  showing  the  arrangement  of  all  furni- 
ture and  articles  used  on  the  stage.  The  electrician  is  given 
directions  for  all  lighting  effects,  and  so  on  through  every 
department.  All  these  directions  are  written  or  drawn  on 
paper  pasted  in  a  continuous  roll  often  more  than  twenty  feet 
in  length. 

The  stage  director  "  casts  "  all  the  plays  and  his  decision 
must  be  accepted  by  the  actor  without  question. 

Every  emergency,  from  the  illness  of  the  players  to  the 
accidents  of  the  mechanical  work,  must  be  met  by  the  stage 
director  and  the  trouble  corrected  so  that  the  performance 
may  go  on  with  the  least  friction  possible. 

He  directs  at  every  rehearsal,  giving  the  actors  the  stage 
business  he  wishes  done  to  produce  the  effects  he  has  alreadv 
studied  out.  In  almr)st  every  case  the  actor  is  given  a 
manuscript  "part  "  containing  only  his  own  lines  and  "cues." 
At  these  rehearsals  the  parts  are  fitted  together  and  the  actor 
learns  the  story  of  the  ];lay  and  the  individual  peculiarities  of 
the  character  he  is  to  portray. 

He  also  instructs  the  "supers"  and  "extra  people  "  in 
their  "  business  "  and  shows  them  where  they  fit  in. 

Mr.  Pitman  is  rarely  seen  "  in  front  "  excepting  during  a 
first  performance.

LILLIAN    LAWRENCE 

Miss  Lawrence,  the  "  Leading  Lady  "  of  the  Castle 
Square  Theatre  Stock  Compan)-,  was  a  member  of  the  original 
company  and  with  the  exception  of  sixteen  and  a  half  months 
from  May  13,  1901,  to  September  i,  1902,  she  has  played 
during  the  six  years  of  the  company  s  existence. 


14  Six   Veaks  ok  Drama 


The  uniform  excellence  of  her  work  is  marvellous  when 
one  considers  the  ver)-  wide  range  of  characters  she  has  been 
obliged  to  assume.  In  lier  opening  part  six  years  ago  when 
she  jilayed  "  Helen  Truman  "'  in  *'  The  Wife,"  she  reached  the 
heart  of  her  audience  and  tim^e  has  been  unable  to  shake  the 
regard  in  which  she  has  ever  since  been  held.  She  is  a  won- 
derful actress  indeed  who  can  please  at  all  times.  Miss  Law- 
rence has  endeared  herself  to  all  tlic  ]Deople  with  whom  her 
work  has  brought  her  in  contact  and  in  the  many  trying 
hours  incident  to  her  profession  her  great  courtesy  and  kind 
consideration  for  the  feelings  of  others  has  proved  a  shining- 
example.  It  is  not  alone  her  success  with  the  patrons  of 
the  theatre  that  shows  her  worth,  but  also  in  the  spirit  of 
comradeship  that  has  always  existed  between  her  and  the 
various  members  of  the  company. 

From  her  many  parts  it  is  impossible  to  determine  which 
one  is  best.  She  has  performed  them  all  in  a  most  satisfactory 
manner. 

On  the  stage  she  is  fearless  and  undertakes  all  the  dar- 
ing feats  that  a  part  demands.  No  fall  or  jump  is  avoided. 
In  this  connection  might  be  mentioned  her  swing  on  the  bell 
in  "The  Heart  of  Maryland";  her  fall  on  the  staircase  in 
"The  Great  Diamond  Robbery"  and  her  horseback  ride  up  a 
winding  "run  "  onto  a  high  and  narrow  platform  in  "Under 
Two  Flags."  In  all  three  of  these  plays  she  was  in  real  per- 
sonal danger  at  every  performance. 

Off  the  stage  Miss  Lawrence  is  greatly  interested  in  the 
work  of  the  Actors'  Church  Alliance,  and  was  instrumental  in 
the  forming  of  the  association.  She  is  often  called  upon  to 
give  her  time  and  money  to  the  work  and  is  always  ready  to 
resjxjnd. 

A  great  amf)unt  of  woi-k  is  occasioned  by  the  demands  of 
costume.  All  her  costumes  are  personally  selected  and  their 
preparation  supervised  by  Miss  Lawrence.  If  one  considers 
the  many  changes  necessary  from  week  to  week  the  imi:)or- 
tancc  of  this  detail  will  be  appreciated. 

I-'ortunately,  Miss  Lawrence  is  a  "quick  study,"  called 
upon  almost  every  week  to  learn  the  "long  part  "  of  a  i)lay, 


16  Six   Years  ok  Drama 

it  is  wonderful  tliat  she  can  commit  the  lines  in  the  short  time 
available.  I'he  hours  Ironi  nine  to  tweKe,  from  one  to  five 
and  from  seven  to  cle\-en  every  day  arc  spent  in  work  at  the 
theatre,  and  the  loni;'  parts  must  be  learned  outside  these  hours 
or  between  the  acts. 

To  keep  her  liealtli  under  the  great  strain  incidental  to 
her  work,  Miss  Lawience  is  obliged  to  take  great  care  of  her- 
self and  avoids  any  excitement  that  is  not  in  tlie  nature  of 
recreation,  an  occasional  drive  into  tlie  country  or  a  short 
attendance  at  some  social  function  being  about  all  that  she 
can  undertake. 

The  programs  printed  in  this  book  will  refresh  the  mem- 
oiy  of  the  reader  and  recall  the  excellent  work  performed  by 
Miss  Lawrence  in  the  many  }ila\s  in  which  she  has  appeared. 

On  the  evening  of  Saturday,  May  ii,  1901,  Miss  Law- 
rence was  tendered  an  ovation  rarely  equalled  in  the  annals  of 
the  stage,  the  occasion  being  her  last  a[)[)earance  before  leav- 
ing for  a  much  needed  rest.  "The  house  was  packed  as  it 
never  was  before,  hundreds  of  ladies  standing  in  the  aisles  and 
corridors.  When  the  final  curtain  fell,  the  uproar  was  deafen- 
ing, and  as  the  curtain  rose,  Miss  Lawrence  stood  in  the 
centre  of  the  stage,  surrounded  by  the  members  of  the  com- 
pany. Then  began  a  perfect  fusillade  of  fiowers  from  the  or- 
chestra, the  balconies  and  the  bo.xes,  until  the  stage  was  liter- 
ally covered  with  blossoms.  These  were  gathered  in  a  heap 
by  the  different  i)eoi)le  and  placed  at  Miss  Lawrence's  feet. 
The  orchestra  struck  up  '  Auld  Lang  .Syne'  and  the  entire 
audience  rose  from  their  seats.  It  was  a  glowing  tribute  and 
brought  tears  to  the  eyes,  not  only  of  the  actress  honored, 
but  to  many  others."

JANE    IRVING. 

Miss  Irving,  whose  engagement  with  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  Stock  Company  has  just  closed,  joined  the  comi)any 
in  August,  1902,  and  made  her  first  appearance  in  the  part 
of  "  Cynisca  "  in  "  Pygmalion  and  Galatea."  Her  work  in  the 
company  has  been  marked  by  a  very  careful  attention  to  de- 


18

tails  and  has  proved  very  satisfactory  to  the  audience.  As 
"Michlel"  the  gypsy  girl,  in  "The  Pride  of  Jennico,"  she  reached 
absohite  perfection  anil  did  much  for  the  success  of  the  piece. 
Miss  Ir\-ing  possesses  a  beautiful  stage  presence,  being  tall 
and  remarkably  graceful  in  her  movements.  Her  voice  is 
exquisitely  modulated  and  she  reads  her  lines  with  intelligence 
and  great  care.  Although  comparatively  new  in  theatrical 
work  she  shows  a  natural  dramatic  ability  that  will  undoubt- 
edly bring  her  success  in  her  profession.

MARY    SANDERS 

Miss  Sanders  was  born  in  J^oston,  but  her  parents  re- 
moved to  Chicago  when  she  was  quite  young  and  she  was 
educated  in  the  latter  city.  After  graduating  she  went  to 
New  York  and  entered  as  a  member  of  the  Lyceum  School  of 
Acting,  where  she  received  a  very  thorough  instruction  in  all 
branches  of  the  art. 


20  Six  Vkars  ok  Drama 

Miss  Sanders  has  played  with  Helen  Dauvray,  Effie 
Ellsler,  E.  S.  Willard,  Richard  Mansfield  and  others,  besides 
l)laying  four  consecutive  seasons  in  stock  work  in  Washington. 
She  made  a  starring  tour  in  the  fall  of  1899,  playing  "Little 
Nell"  and  "The  Marchioness,"  and  after  that,  a  season  as 
"Ora"  in  Joseph  Arthur's  "Lost  River." 

Miss  Sanders  was  one  of  the  original  members  of  the 
Castle  Square  Stock  Company  and  has  always  been  a  great 
favorite  with  both  the  audience  and  the  company.  Although 
her  regular  work  is  in  "ingenue"  roles  she  has  many  times 
played  character  parts  and  her  low  comedy  parts  have  been 
eminently  satisfactory.  She  is  also  often  called  upon  to  do 
"boys." 

As  an  "ingenue"  she  is  the  personification  of  sweetness 
and  naivete.  Of  the  many  society  plays  produced  during  the 
past  si.\  years  no  recollection  is  more  pleasant  than  the  work 
of  Miss  Sanders.  Her  sunny  personality  shines  through 
these  characters  and  shows  her  own  natural  disposition. 

In  her  character  work  her  make-ups  are  very  carefully 
studied  and  never  fail  to  receive  the  applause  of  the  house  on 
her  first  entrance.  She  enters  into  the  spirit  of  any  part 
given  her  and  strives  to  present  the  character  as  drawn  by  the 
author  and  always  in  a  manner  that  brings  out  the  effect 
needed  to  make  the  stage  picture  complete.  Attractive  in 
appearance,  graceful  and  vivacious,  her  presence  on  the  stage 
lights  up  all  her  scenes  and  gives  great  satisfaction  to  the 
audience.  In  her  pathetic  roles  she  arouses  the  sympathy  of 
the  audience  and  she  reaches  all  her  situations  with  a  natural- 
ness that  makes  one  entirely  forget  that  she  is  only  acting  a 
part . 

Miss  Sanders  gives  careful  attention  to  her  costuming, 
all  her  gowns  making  an  attractive  setting  for  her  beautiful 
face  and  figure.

LEONORA    BRADLEY 

Miss  Bradley  was  born  in  London,  but  si>ent  her  child- 
hood in  New  South  Wales,  Australia,  where  she  was  given  a 
good  education  and  had  many  ad\-anlages  hardly  to  be  ex- 
pected in  such  a  place.  At  that  time  she  had  no  special  in- 
clination for  the  stage,  but  rather  hoped  to  become  a  writer. 


22  Six  Years  of  Drama 


Returning  to  London  she  caught  the  stage  fever  and  at  the 
age  of  fifteen  ran  awa)'  to  this  ct)untry  and  obtained  her  first 
engagement  in  lialtimore,  being  given  "first  walking  lady" 
parts  although  only  a  child. 

Possessinsr  a  irood  voice,  she  next  tried  musical  turns 
with  a  variety  company  and  then  took  up  burlesque,  winning- 
much  success.  Soon  after  she  joined  an  opera  company  in 
which  I-'rancis  Wilson  played  the  principal  parts  and  travelled 
with  this  organization  to  San  Francisco,  where  she  also  sang 
"Little  l^uttercup  "  in  "Pinafore."  Miss  Bradley  next  joined 
Jeanie  Winston's  Comic  Opera  Company,  singing  with  great 
success  in  every  opera  that  was  brought  out  by  the  company. 

Leaving  opera  she  returned  to  drama  and  played  engage- 
ments with  Robson  and  Crane  and  John  T.  Raymond,  and  in 
1892  came  to  the  Boston  Museum  for  an  extended  run  of 
"By  Proxy."  Miss  l^radley  has  also  pla\ed  with  Helen 
Dauvray,  I£.  H.  Sothern,  Margaret  Mather  and  many  other 
leading  actors,  playing  leading  parts  in  hundreds  of  plays. 

Joining  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Company  during  the 
summer  of  1899,  she  has  been  a  very  valuable  member  ever 
since. 

Miss  Ikadley  is  one  of  the  three  ladies  who  arc  honorary 
members  of  the  Theatrical  Mechanics'  Association  of  America. 

Miss  Bradley's  work  is  marked  by  an  intelligence  that 
can  come  from  great  experience  alone  and  in  every  part  given 
hci  she  shows  herself  to  be  a  finished  actress. 

Her  costumes  are  marvels  of  richness  and  beauty  and 
show  great  taste  in  selection. 

Besides  her  dramatic  ability  she  possesses  a  knowledge 
of  business  affairs  and  successfully  manages  her  various  prop- 
erties and  investments.

MISS    IZETTA   JEWEL 

Miss  Jewel  is  of  French  and  Spanish  descent  and, 
although  a  young  woman,  has  had  a  very  large  experience  in 
repertoire  work,  having  played  leading  parts  in  most  of  the 
modern  dramas.  She  is  very  well  known  throughout  the 
South,  where  man)'  of  her  early  successes  were  attained.

She  is  pleasing  to  see  and  hear  and  is  entirely  free  from 
the  artificiality  so  often  the  fault  of  many  more  mature 
actresses.  She  catches  at  once  the  spirit  of  the  parts  she  is 
called  upon  to  interpret,  and  is  exceedingly  clever  in  her 
impersonations. 

During  the  past  year  she  has  had  many  opportunities  to 
show  her  worth  and  has  prox'cd  herself  an  important  member 
of  a  well-balanced  company. 

Perhaps  there  is  no  greater  test  of  the  ability  of  an 
actor  than  in  the  proper  reading  of  Shakespearian  lines.  In 
the  modern  dnmia  an  actor  of  intelligence  can  get  the  sense 
of  a  part  and  in  a  trying  situation  improvise  speeches  that 
will  prove  satisfactory;  not  so  with  a  blank  verse  part,  every 
S}-llable  of  which  is  necessary  to  produce  the  effect  designed 
b\-  the  author.  Miss  Jewel  has  shown  a  remarkable  knowl- 
edge of  Shakespeare's  lines,  and  the  following  extract  from 
the  Boston  Transcript  of  September  2,  1902,  will  give 
the  opinion  of  a  well-known  dramatic  critic  of  her  work : 

As    You    Like    It. 

Did  space  permit  we  should  have  more  to  say  about  the  acting  and 
especially  about  Miss  Jewel,  whose  Celia  was  the  gem  of  the  performance. 
Here  is  a  girl,  apparently  but  just  out  of  her  teens,  who  shows  that  she  has 
studied  iier  Shakespeare  and  knows  how  to  get  the  true  value  out  of  his  lines. 
There  was  a  charm  about  her  jjlaying  that  was  most  enjoyable,  and  wiiile  the 
aver-ige  actor  of  to-day  seems  to  have  difficulty  in  understanding  Shakes- 
peare's words  and  giving  them  their  full  meaning,  this  girl  reads  the  poet's 
beav.tiful  speeches  understandingly  and  never  misses  any  of  his  fine  meanings. 
The  oldest  playgoer  will  have  to  put  on  his  thinking  cap  and  recall  many  a 
Celia  before  he  will  find  one  that  will  equal  her.

ALEXIA    DURANT 

Miss  Durant  is  a  Western  girl  and  is  now  playing  her 
first  professional  engagement.  Born  with  a  strong  passion 
for  the  stage,  she  very  early  began  the  organization  and 
direction  of  amateur  clubs,  both  in  operatic  and  dramatic 
work.      She  has  sung  such  roles  as  "  Carmen,"   "  Buttercup," 


:.'G  Six   \'f.ar.s  of  Drama 


"  Red  Riding  Hood,"  "  Prince  Charming,"  etc.,  and  played 
such  leading  parts  as  "Juliet,"  '•  Camille,''  "Portia,"  "Cigar- 
ette," "  Rosalind,"'  "  Kate  Hardcastle,"  "  I  ady  Babbie," 
"Ophelia,"  etc.,  etc. 

She  has  arranged  and  taught  spectacular  dances  and 
drills. 

Miss  Durant's  ambition  is  to  acquire  sufificient  knowledge 
to  undertake  the  direction  of  her  own  company,  in  which  she 
will  play  leading  parts. 

Her  amusements  are  horses,  books  and  music.  She  also 
excels  in  all  athletic  exercises  that  women  undertake.  She  is 
an  accomplished  fencer,  swimmer  and  dancer. 

Miss  Durant  attends  all  rehearsals  of  the  company, 
whether  or  not  in  the  bill,  and  frequently  understudies  many 
of  the  leading  parts  to  be  ready  for  any  emergency  that  may 
arise. 

While  as  yet  she  has  had  but  few  opportunities  at  the 
Castle  Square  Theatre  to  show  her  ability  she  has  made  the 
most  of  her  parts  and  has  been  uniformly  successful  in  what 
she  has  been  called  upon  to  do.  She  undertook  at  very  short 
notice  the  leading  part  of  "Henriettc"  in  "The  Two 
Orphan.s,"  when  the  princii)al  cast  for  the  part  was  taken  ill, 
and  for  a  number  of  performances  played  the  role  to  the 
complete  .satisfaction  of  the  audience. 

Miss  Durant  is  not  afraid  oi  any  woik  in  her  clioscn 
profession,  and  her  industry  must  certainly  bring  about  the 
realization  of  her  ambition.

JOHN    CRAIG 

Mr.  Craig  was  born  in  Mt.  Pleasant,  Tenn.,  but  his 
parents  moved  to  Texas  when  he  was  a  year  old,  and  his  life 
up  to  his  twentieth  year  was  spent  in  ranching  in  Texas  and 
Mexico.  Resolving  to  become  an  actor  he  started  for  New 
York  in  search  of  a  chance  to  get  a  trial,  but  without  success. 


28  Six  Years  or  Drama 


He  was  obliged  to  go  to  work  doing  odd  jobs,  but  never  gave 
up  his  idea  of  becoming  an  actor.  At  last  he  was  taken 
on  as  a  super  at  one  of  the  theatres,  and  from  there  went  out 
with  a  "  barnstorming  "  company  playing  anything  and  e\'ery- 
thing,  and  gaining  no  end  of  experience.  His  adxance  was 
rapid,  iov  within  three  years  he  was  a  member  cf  Mr.  Daly's 
Company  and  remained  with  this  manager  seven  years,  tour- 
ing not  only  this  country,  but  also  England,  Ireland  and  Scot- 
land. He  joined  Mr.  Savage's  Stock  Company  in  Philadelphia 
in  1898  and,  after  a  season  with  Mrs.  Fiske,  came  to  the 
Castle  Square  Theatre  and  made  an  immediate  success.  He 
has  played  new  parts  week  after  week  and  has  been  the 
leading  man  longer  than  all  his  predecessors  together. 

Mr.  Craig's  acting  is  uniformly  good.  He  is  what  is 
technically  known  as  a  cjuick  study  and  with  an  excellent 
figure  and  graceful  stage  presence  is  particularly  well  equipped 
for  stock  work. 

Mr.  Craig  has  played  over  three  hundred  characters, 
ranging  from  "Hamlet  "  to  "Mr.  Potter  of  Texas."  He  has 
made  remarkable  success  in  Shakespearian  roles  even  with  the 
limited  time  allowed  for  preparation.  As  "  Hamlet,"  "  Shy- 
lock  "  and  "Orlando"  he  did  far  better  work  than  many  who 
spend  seasons  in  similar  parts,  and  has  borne  up  well  under 
the  great  mental  strain  made  necessary  by  the  proper  reading 
of  Shakespeare's  lines.  In  the  modern  comedy  parts  Mr. 
Craig  is  at  his  best. 

Although  his  time  would  seem  to  be  entirely  filled  at  the 
theatre  Mr.  Craig  enters  into  many  outside  business  ventures, 
most  of  which  prove  successful.  If  he  were  not  an  actor  of 
high  order  he  would  prove  equally  successful  in  the  business 
world. 

On  the  evening  of  Saturday,  April  25,  1903,  Mr.  Craig 
made  his  farewell  appearance  at  this  theatre  and  the  occasion 
was  made  a  memorable  one  by  his  many  friends.  7"he  house 
was  packed  to  repletion  and  Mr.  Craig  in  a  brief  speech 
thanked  the  audience  for  the  great  favor  shown  him.  The 
house  responded  by  wishing  him  good  luck  in  his  new  venture. 

Mr.  Craig  will  star  the  coming  season  in   "Prince  Karl."

JOHN    M.    SAINPOLIS. 

Mr.  Sainpoli.s  was  born  in  New  Orleans  and  received  his 
education  in  the  pubhc  schools  of  his  native  city,  finishing 
with  a  course  in  college.  The  career  mapped  out  for  him 
was  a  commercial  one,  and  his  business  life  was  spent  in 
Chicago.     The  desire  to  go  on  the   stage  became  too  great 


30  Six  Years  ok  Drama 


ami  he  joined  a  l*'ix)hnian  Conii)an)-  and  played  hi.s  first  season 
in  "The  Charity  Ball"  and  "  ]\Ien  and  Women."  Then  fol- 
lowed  engagements  with  Walker  Whiteside  and  in  stock  com- 
panies in  New  York,  Milwaukee,  New  Orleans  and  Montreal, 
playing  "  leads  "  in  the  latter  city. 

His  line  of  parts  before  coming  to  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  covered  nearly  everything.  This  is  usually  the  ex- 
perience of  an  actor  in  stock  companies.  One  week  he  is 
obliged  to  do  light  comedy  work  and  the  next  week  a  roman- 
tic role  or  a  negro  character. 

In  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock  Company  his 
regular  work  is  "heavies"  and  from  his  first  appearance  wath 
the  company  last  September,  when  he  played  "Jack  Negley" 
in  "Barbara  Frietchie,"  he  has  always  made  a  distinct  impres- 
sion in  every  i)art  given  him.  As  "  Daniel  Groodge "  in 
"  Mankind  "  he  was  the  bright  and  shining  star,  and  his 
make-up  and  character  work  were  especially  commendable. 

While  on  the  stage  he  is  obliged  to  be  a  villain,  he  is  one 
of  the  most  gentle  of  men  in  private  life,  and  is  an  agreeable 
companion  on  all  occasions.  He  has  been  added  to  the 
Castle  Square  golf  contingent  and  occasionally  on  pleasant 
days,  when  out  of  the  bill,  he  makes  a  trip  to  I'ranklin  Park 


for  an  hour  or  two  at  the  game. 


Mr.  Sainpolis  is  very  popular  witli  his  associates,  who 
thoroughly  appreciate  his  many  fine  qualities,  both  as  an 
actor  and  as  a  man.  On  the  stage  he  is  always  ready  to 
assist  in  working  up  a  scene  for  the  benefit  of  others,  and 
this  quality  is  considered  to  be  most  courteous  in  an  actor.

JOHN    T.   CRAVEN 

Mr.  Craven  was  born  in  New  York  City,  and  caught  the 
stage  fever  at  a  very  early  age.  In  August,  1865,  he  got  his 
first  engagement  as  an  extra  man  in  a  panttMiiime  at  the 
Winter  Garden  Theatre,  New  York.  His  next  work  was 
with    Barnum's    Museum.     Then    followed    a  year's   engage- 


Six  Yfars  of  Drama 


ment  as  call-boy  at  the  Old  Bowery  Theatre,  under  the 
management  of  George  L.  I-\)X,  the  famous  clown. 

Mr.  Craven  has  had  a  \ery  varied  experience  in  all  the 
phases  of  the  theatrical  profession,  playing  with  such  actors 
as  luhvin  l^ooth,  Lawrence  l^arrett,  r>ank  Mayo,  Lotta,  Mary 
Anderson,  Ada  Rehan,  William  Gillette  and  many  others 
eminent  in  the  profession.  On  September  17,  icS 77,  Mr. 
Craven  made  his  initial  bow  to  a  l^oston  audience  as  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Boston  Theatre  Stock  Company,  playing  the  Negro 
in  "  Kit,  the  Arkansas  Traveller,"  with  Frank  S.  Chanfrau  as 
"  Kit."  For  eight  years  he  remained  with  this  company,  and 
was  seen  in  all  the  great  productions  put  on  during  those 
years.  In  the  fall  of  1885  he  went  on  the  road,  playing  "Old 
Sport  "  in  "A  Rag  Baby."  Then  came  seasons  with  Maude 
Banks,  Donnelly  and  Girard,  N.  C.  Goodwin,  Margaret 
Mather,  Lydia  Thompson,  Julia  IMarlowe  and  others,  closing 
with  three  years  at  Baltimore  with  the  Lyceum  Stock  Com- 
pany. 

On  April  30,  1900,  Mr.  Craven  joined  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  Company,  and  has  played  the  leading  comedy  parts 
ever  since.  It  is  useless  to  attempt  to  make  any  comparisons 
of  the  various  parts  played  by  him  during  the  past  three 
years  ;  they  all  show  the  result  of  his  vast  experience  with  the 
old  school  actors,  whose  work  has  never  been  surpassed.  In 
every  character  his  work  is  finished,  and  leaves  nothing  to  be 
desired  by  the  audience.  His  make-ui)s  are  always  good, 
and  his  costumes  in  character  parts  are  extremely  artistic.

JAMES  L.  SEELEY 

Mr.  Seeley  is  a  native  of  Rushville,  Illinois,  and  has  been 
a  member  of  the  company  since  the  summer  of  1897.  He 
has  proved  himself  a  very  valuable  man,  being  capable  of 
filling  any  position  in  a  stock  company.  His  work  is  always 
marked  by  a  consistency  and  conscientiousness  that  win  im- 


34  Six  Years  of  Drama 


mediate  favor  from  an  audience.  Although  a  young  man  he 
has  had  a  very  great  cxiicricncc  as  an  actor,  having  played  in 
almost  every  State  of  the  Union.  In  many  plays  he  has  done 
nearly  every  character  in  the  cast. 

Before  going  on  the  stage  Mr.  Seeley  was  engaged  in 
the  railroad  business,  holding  an  important  position  with  the 
Chicago,  l^urlington  &  Ouincy  Railroad  Company.  He  was 
very  popular  with  his  business  associates,  who  never  fail  to  call 
on  him  when  their  business  or  pleasure  leads  them  to  Boston. 

In  his  position  in  the  Castle  Square  Stock  Company  Mr. 
Seeley  is  called  upon  to  do  "old  man,"  but  he  has  shown  to 
great  advantage  in  leading,  heavy  and  chaiacter  parts.  His 
portrayal  of  "  Piuld'nhead  Wilson  "  will  be  remembered  by  all 
who  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  him  in  that  part.  Being  an 
ardent  admirer  of  "  Mark  Twain  "  he  endeavored  to  make  a 
careful  study  of  the  character  and  his  success  was  the  result 
of  thoughtful  pre])aration. 

When  called  upon  to  do  the  ]xut  of  "Abraham  I.incoln  " 
in  "The  Ensign,"  although  not  being  obliged  to  speak  a 
single  word  on  the  stage,  he  spent  two  hours  before  each  per- 
formance in  "making  up"  for  the  half  minute's  appearance 
necessary. 

As  "  Roustan  "  in  "More  than  Queen"  he  made  a  hit 
that  was  recognized  by  the  critics  to  be  unequalled  in  the  part. 

Mr.  Seeley  enjoys  golfing  and  in  the  season  his  spare 
time  is  spent  in  "following  the  ball,"  his  matches  with  Mr. 
Wade  affording  much  pleasure  for  the  other  members  of  the 
company,  as  well  as  for  the  participants. 

'Ihe  few  weeks  of  vacation  time  each  year  are  spent  with 
his  family  at  his  summer  home  at  Atlantic  City. 

Mr.  Seeley  is  a  man  of  positive  ideas  and  his  earnestness 
of  manner  is  a  strong  characteristic  of  his  make-up.  Whatever 
business  he  has  in  hand  is  attended  to  with  a  thoroughness 
that  is  bound  to  win. 

Mrs.  Seeley  is  occasionally  seen  on  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  stage  under  the  name  of  Jennie  Kendrick. 

Mr.  Sccley's  continuous  service  with  the  company  is  only 
exceeded  in  lenj/th  bv  Mr.  Morisf)n's. 


THOMAS    MacLARNIE 

Mr.  MacLarnie  joined  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock 
Company  in  August,  1902,  during  the  production  of  "Ours," 
and  from  the  very  start  has  been  popular  with  the  audience. 

His  first  theatrical  engagement  wa.s  with  James  O'Neill 
in  "  Monte  Cristo  "  and  "Virginius."     Among  other  engage- 


86  Six  Years  of  Drama 

mcnts  he  has  played  with  Lewis  Morrison,  Frederick  Warde, 
Augustus  Pitou,  Jacob  Litt,  Henry  Miller,  Chas.  E.  Blaney 
and  J.  Wesley  Rosenquest. 

The  first  part  he  ever  played  was  an  old  man,  and  he  has 
been  growing  steadily  younger  ever  since.  The  parts  he  has 
pla)-ed  have  covered  the  entire  gamut  of  stage  characters. 
His  voice  possesses  a  remarkably  musical  quality  that  engages 
the  attention  of  the  audience  at  once  and  makes  it  a  pleasure 
to  hear  him  speak. 

His  work  in  the  comi)any  during  the  present  season  is 
well  known  to  all  the  patrons  of  the  house,  but  a  mention  of 
a  few  of  his  parts  may  be  favorably  received.  As  "  Horatio 
Drake"  in  "The  Christian"  his  work  was  highlv  commended 
by  the  Boston  press  as  a  highly  finished  performance.  As 
"Clarence  Douglass"  in  "A  Young  Wife"  he  was  manly 
and  forceful,  and  never  spoiled  the  part  by  over-zeal.  As 
"Lieut.  John  Perry  Allen"  in  "The  Ensign"  he  showed  a 
most  satisfactory  repose  of  manner  and  dignity. 

In  all  his  work  Mr.  MacLarnie  makes  a  fascinating  char- 
acter of  whatever  part  he  has  in  hand,  and  his  scenes  are 
always  appreciated  by  the  audience. 

Mr.  MacLarnie  carries  the  same  dignity  into  his  private 
life  that  marks  him  on  the  stage  ;  in  fact,  the  work  he  is  usually 
called  upon  to  do  is  but  the  reflection  of  his  own  self.

GEORGE    E.    MACK 

Mr.  Mack  began  life  with  a  Boston  commercial  house  in 
a  way  which  promised  a  successful  future.  His  desire  to  go 
on  the  stage  was  so  great  that  he  gave  up  a  very  lucrative 
position  and  has  since  been  doing  theatrical  work. 

Mr.  Mack's  experience  has  been  varied,  beginning  years

ago  here  in  Boston  as  a  public  reader  and  impersonator.  His 
first  dramatic  experience  was  in  support  of  John  E.  Hanshaw. 
He  was  Mr.  Hanshaw's  "side  partner"  and  their  drolleries 
were  applauded  from  coast  to  coast,  Mr.  Mack's  exquisitely 
funny  make-up  and  facial  expression  standing  him  in  good 
stead.  One  year  each  with  "  Hands  Across  the  Sea,"  "The 
Ensign"  and  "The  Derby  Mascot"  followed,  proving  him 
versatile  as  he  played  light  comedy,  juvenile  business  and  boys. 
For  the  next  two  years  he  ajipearcd  in  stock  work  in  Albany, 
Halifax  and  Montreal.  He  next  undertook  comic  opera  for  a 
while,  leaving  that  work  to  play  the  title  part  in  "  My  Friend 
from  India,"  appearing  in  this  part  at  the  Grand  Opera  House 
in  this  city.  For  two  seasons  he  played  "Hi  Holler,"  the 
quaintly  amusing  country  bumpkin  in  "Way  Down  East." 

For  the  past  season  he  has  been  the  light  comedian  in 
the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Company  and  has  proved  a  suc- 
cessful member  of  the  organization.  He  numbers  many 
friends  and  admirers  among  the  theatre-goers  of  Boston.

EDWARD    WADE 

Mr.  Wade  was  hnvn  m  Chelsea,  and  made  his  debut  as  an 
actor  March  9,  1889,  as  a  member  of  the  Old  Museum  Com- 
pany. After  spending  a  few  years  on  the  road  he  joined  this 
organization  in  April,  1899,  and  has  been  a  valuable  member 
ever  since.

While  on  the  road  Mr.  Wade  played  with  James  J.  Cor-

and  with  Marie  Wainwright.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Grand 
Opera  House  Stock  Company  in  1893. 

With  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock  Comixuiy  he  is 
called  upon  for  a  great  Aariety  of  parts  and  has  always  proved 
adequate.  It  is  a  severe  task  to  be  obliged  to  j^lay  heavy 
parts  one  week  and  light  comedy  the  next,  but  in  a  stock 
company  one  must  take  what  is  given  and  make  the  most  of 
it.  Mr.  Wade  has  shown  his  usefulness  in  many  ways  and 
has  been  ready  for  all  emergencies.  Mr.  Wade  is  the  cham- 
pion g(jlf  player  of  the  company  and  spends  all  his  spare  time 
on  some  near-by  course.  At  this  sport  he  never  tires.  At 
tennis  he  is  no  mean  adversary.  In  fact  he  excels  in  any 
game  of  an  athletic  nature. 

Mr.  Wade  is  married  and  has  a  pleasant  home  in  Arling- 
ton. His  wife  is  often  seen  on  the  Castle  Square  Theatre 
stage  under  the  name  of  Cordelia  Macdonald.  Miss  Macdon-

great  care  in  his  make-ups,  and  c\cn  in  his  smallest  parts  he 
gets  out  all  there  is  in  tliem.  He  shows  at  all  times  the 
great  practical  stage  training  his  experience  has  given  him, 
and  is  very  careful  of  all  the  details  of  stage  business.  Hav- 
ing at  his  command  all  the  various  English  dialects,  he  has 
proved  of  great  \-alue  in  the  many  plays  of  British  origin,  now 
in  the  repertoires  of  American  stock  companies,  that  have 
been  produced  at  the  Castle  Square  Theatre. 

His  "  Captain  Redwood  "  in  "Jim  the  Penman  "  was  a 
careful  piece  of  acting,  and  will  be  remembered  by  all  the 
patrons  of  the  house  who  attended  those  performances. 

In  the  extremely  difficult  part  of  "The  Ghost"  in 
"  Hamlet  "  Mr.  Morison  was  completely  successful ;  a  part 
in  which  many  well-known  actors  have  failed,  and  to  which 
the  tradition  of  the  stage  has  always  assigned  only  the  most 
experienced. 

His  "Col.  Moberly  "  in  "Alabama"  was  a  very  success- 
ful piece  of  acting. 

Mr.  Morison  is  one  of  the  golfers  of  the  company,  and  is 
ready  to  "go  around  "  in  all  kinds  of  weather. 

His  name  is  familiar  on  all  programs  of  entertainments 
given  for  charitable  purposes,  and  he  does  his  best  to  help 
along  any  good  cause. 

A  "good  fellow"  always,  he  is  ready  for  any  enjoyment 
or  work  that  is  on  foot,  and  may  be  counted  upon  as  a  com- 
rade in  any  undertaking.  His  keen  sense  of  humor  makes 
him  a  charming  companion  at  all  times.

LOUIS    THIEL 

Mr.  Thicl  before  comiiii;-  to  the  Castle  Square  Theatre 
played  with  many  different  travelling  and  stock  companies, 
among  which  were  The  Wife  for  Wife  Company,  New  Do- 
minion Company,  Humanity  Company,  Blue  Jeans  Company 
and  Lost  in  the  Desert  Company.     His  principal  work  is  in 


44  Six  Years  of  Drama 


comedy  and  characters,  being  unusually  successful  in  negro 
and  dialect  parts.  As  "Uncle  Poly  "  in  "The  New  Dominion  " 
he  "  was  far  abo\-e  the  average  as  a  colored  man  and  was 
deserving  of  all  the  applause  he  received."  One  oi  his  best 
character  parts  was  that  of  a  tram})  in  "  Side  Tracked  "  and 
proved  a  bit  of  mimicry  that  would  be  hard  to  duplicate.  In 
the  play  the  humorous  side  of  tramp  life  is  sliown,  and,  as  is 
told  by  the  title,  he  is  side-tracked  while  trying  to  beat  his 
way  on  a  freight  car,  and  while  thus  detained  he  becomes  a 
prominent  feature  in  a  tragedy. 

When  "  Quo  Vadis  "  was  jnit  on  Mr.  Thiel  was  speci- 
ally engaged  to  do  the  part  of  "Nero,"  and  all  who  saw  the 
piece  have  a  vivid  recollection  of  his  work  in  that  character. 
He  received  great  commendation  from  the  critics  at  that  time 
as  being  fully  in  the  spirit  of  the  play  and  era.  Mr.  Thiel  is 
almost  always  in  the  cast,  and  although  not  usually  called 
upon  for  principal  parts  he  makes  the  most  of  his  opportuni- 
ties and  gives  satisfaction  at  all  times.  ,  As  "  Manasses 
Marks"  in  "Humanity"  he  made  a  hit,  ]ilaying  the  part 
in  an  amusing  manner.  Mr.  Thiel  is  a  pigeon  fancier  of 
some  reputation  and  enjoys  the  study  and  care  of  these 
familiar  birds.

WILLIAM    J.   HASSON 

Mr.  Hasson  was  born  in  Boston  and  was  educated  here, 
graduating  from  Boston  College  with  the  degree  of  A.  B.  in 
1896.  While  in  college  he  was  greatly  interested  in  theatri- 
cals, and  was  prominent  in  all  the  performances  given  there. 
After  graduating  he  took  up  civil  engineering,  and  for  three 


Six    Vkaks  ov   Okamv 


years  worked  hard  at  his  chosen  profession,  but  his  taste  for 
the  sta'^e  was  too  great  to  be  o\ercome,  and  he  resolved  to 
become  a  player  as  soon  as  possible. 

Mr.  Hasson  made  up  his  mind  to  become  a  member  of 
the  Castle  Square  Company,  believing  that  the  experience 
g-ained  there  would  be  more  valuable  than  from  seasons  s})cnt 
on  the  road  playing  the  same  part,  lie  tinally  succeeded  in 
getting  an  opportunity  in  August,  1899,  in  "Arrah-na-Pogue." 
\\'hile  he  had  nothing  to  say,  he  was  at  least  on  the  stage. 
His  first  speaking  part  was  two  lines  long,  in  "The  Sporting- 
Duchess."  After  this  he  played  a  number  of  small  ]3arts,  but 
was  not  vet  a  regular  member  of  the  company.  During  the 
run  of  "The  Ik^Us  of  Ilaslemere"  Mr.  Cummings  was  taken 
suddenly  ill,  and  Mr.  Hasson  was  called  on  to  take  his  place 
without  a  rehearsal,  getting  through  the  performance  without 
missing  a  cue.  Three  months  later  he  was  made  a  regular 
member.  While  usually  playing  minor  parts,  he  never  fails 
to  give  them  a  careful  attention  that  is  often  neglected  by 
actors  of  greater  experience. 

Mr.  Hasson's  work  is  greatly  appreciated  by  the  patrons  of 
the  theatre,  and  is  certain  to  bring  him  the  success  that  it 
merits.

JOHN    J.    GEARY 

Mr.  Geary's  principal  work  is  as  assistant  .=?tage  manager. 
To  him  is  intrusted  the  running  of  the  performances.  He 
sits  at  his  desk  near  the  left  first  entrance  and  from  there 
directs  the  progress  of  the  play.  For  an  hour  before  the 
curtain   is  rung   up   he  sounds  quarter-hour   bells   in  all  the 


48  Six  Years  of  Drama 


dressing-rooms  and  the  green-room.  He  notifies  the  orchestra 
by  a  signal  light  when  the  jK^rformers  are  ready  and  attends  to 
all  the  details  on  the  stage.  The  scenery  is  set  and  struck 
under  his  direction  and  his  supervision  is  over  all  the  proper- 
ties. All  the  business  off  the  stage  is  regulated  by  him  and 
is  performed  at  his  command.  While  the  play  is  going  on  he 
holds  the  book  and  stands  ready  to  jMompt  when  needed. 
He  sees  that  the  actors  are  ready  to  make  their  entrances  at 
the  proper  time  and  rings  the  curtain  down  when  the  scene  is 
ended. 

Besides  all  this  work  he  is  often  called  upon  to  do  a  part 
in  the  piece  and  never  fails  to  get  the  most  out  of  what  is 
given  to  him.  In  his  character  work  he  shows  great  skill  and 
is  always  satisfactory  to  the  audience. 

Mr.  (ieary  is  often  obliged  to  jump  into  a  part  at  short 
notice  on  account  of  accident  or  illness  of  some  of  the  princi- 
pals and  at  the.se  times  he  shows  his  great  value  to  the  com- 
pany. For  example,  in  "  Northern  Light.s,"  Mr.  Humphrey, 
who  was  playing  the  part  of  "Sidney  Sherwood,"  was  taken 
ill ;  on  a  notice  of  three  hours  Mr.  Geary  took  the  part,  read 
the  lines  at  the  matinee  performance,  was  letter  perfect  in  the 
evening  and  received  a  curtain  call  at  every  performance 
afterward. 

The  importance  of  his  regular  work,  while  not  fully 
appreciated  from  the  front,  is  very  vital  to  the  production. 
He  has  held  this  prjsition  from  the  first  performance  in  iiSg/ 
and  has  proved  a  valuable  assistant  to  Mr.  Pitman.  He  is  a 
quiet  and  estimable  gentleman  off  the  stage,  giving  one  an 
impression  of  his  great  reliability. 


During  the  summer  of  1902  the  managen/ient  were  at  a 
loss  to  get  a  leading  lady.  Miss  Shannon  had  taken  another 
engagement  and  no  one  could  be  found  to  take  up  the  work 
immediately.  From  New  York  came  the  word  that  an  Eng- 
lish actress  had  just  arrived  in  this  country  and  was  ready  for 


50  Six  Vkars  ok  Drama 


an  LMigai^cnicnt.  WilliDiit  knouiiii;"  her  ability,  the  manage- 
ment was  obliged  to  take  a  chance,  and  Miss  Hall  was  en- 
gaged. She  was  unknown  to  any  of  the  company,  and  her 
advent  was  looked  on  with  some  misgivings.  She  arrived  in 
Boston  and  made  her  first  appearance  at  Music  Hall  during 
the  production  of  "  The  Lost  Paradise "  and  immediately 
made  an  impression  in  her  favor  that  increased  rapidly  until 
the  close  of  the  summer  season,  when  she  was  obliged  to 
make  way  for  the  return  of  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  favorite, 
Miss  Lawrence. 

Although  Miss  Hall  was  represented  as  an  English  actress, 
it  appeared  that  she  was  born  in  America,  and  had  been  play-, 
ing  engagements  in  London  that  had  kept  her  busy  and  could 
have  been  renewed  as  long  as  she  desired.  A  longing  for  her 
old  home  prompted  her  return  to  America,  where  she  arrived 
just  in  time  to  prove  of  great  service  to  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  management  and  assist  in  the  pleasure  of  tlie  patrons 
of  the  theatre. 

Her  remarkable  beauty  and  girlish  grace  in  itself  would 
have  brought  her  success,  but  coupled  with  her  personal  attrac- 
tions was  a  dramatic  ability  of  high  order. 

As  "Juliet"  she  showed  skill  and  a  charm  of  manner  pos- 
itively refreshing,  besides  reading  Shakespeare's  lines  in  a 
most  intelligent  manner.  The  ci'itics  were  unanimous  in  her 
praise  and  believed  a  new  star  had  been  discovered. 

In  the  part  of  "Galatea"  her  beauty  was  shown  to  its 
best  advantage  in  the  classical  robes  of    ancient  Greece. 

On  leaving  the  company  Miss  Hall  secured  an  engage- 
ment at  once  in  another  stock  company  and  her  complete  suc- 
cess in  her  prf)fession  is  assured.  While  in  the  company  she 
was  .seen  in  "The  Lost  Paradise,"  "She  Stooi)s  to  Conquer," 
"Dora,"  "Romeo  and  Juliet,"  "Engaged,"  "The  Fool's 
Revenge,"  "Ours,"  and  "Pygmalion  and  Galatea." 

It  is  safe  to  ])redict  that  Miss  Hall  will  be  seen  at  no  far 
distant  day  as  a  star  in  plays  specially  arranged  for  her 
splendid  attainments.

LAVINIA    SHANNON 

Miss  Shannon  joined  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock 
Company  the  week  of  April  28,  1902,  during  the  production 
of  "  Tennessee's  Pardner,"  in  which  she  played  the  part  of 
"Tennessee."  She  stayed  with  the  company  till  June  21st, 
and  was  seen  in  eight  plays  just  before  the  company  moved  to 


Six  Vkars  of  Drama 


Music  Hall.  Had  it  been  j^ossiblc  for  her  to  have  remained 
longer  with  the  company  she  would  have  proved  an  important 
member,  as  she  possesses  a  dramatic  experience  of  great  value 
and  an  ability  of  note. 

Miss  Shannon  has  an  attractive  stage  presence,  her 
beauty  of  feature  being  enhanced  b}-  an  almcjst  perfect  figure. 

l-^rom  a  very  early  age  her  life  has  been  spent  in  acting, 
and  she  has  appeared  in  some  of  the  best  companies  in  the 
United  States.  In  private  life  Miss  Shannon  is  tlic  wife  of 
Mr.  Giles  Shine,  who  at  one  time  played  the  comedy  business 
in  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Company,  and  whose  picture 
appears  in  this  book. 

As  "  Parthenia  "  in  "  Ingomar  "  slie  made  a  most  beauti- 
ful appearance,  wearing  the  Greek  costume  with  good  effect. 
As  "  Tennessee,''  the  mountain  girl,  her  woik  was  strong  and 
vigorous. 

Since  leaving  the  company  she  has  appeared  several  times 
in  Boston,  and  is  always  received  with  great  kindness  by  her 
audiences.

EVA    TAYLOR 


Miss  Taylor  was  born  in  Paterson,  N.,  J.  and  as  a  child 
recited,  played  the  piano  and  sang  at  entertainments.  When 
she  was  twel\"e  years  of  age  she  had  seven  pupils,  to  whom 
she  was  teaching  music.  For  a  long  time  there  was  a  ques- 
tion whether  she  should  give  her  attention  to  music  or  the 


54  Six   Vi  \ks  ok   Pk  \\i  \ 


Stage.  Finally  choosiiig  tlic  stage  for  her  career,  she  was 
given  an  opportunity  with  \\illi;nn  II.  Crane,  and  next  with 
Richard  Mansfield. 

Miss  Tax  lor  was  the  leading  lad)-  of  a  stock  company  in 
Milwaukee  when  she  was  engaged  temporarily  to  take  Miss 
Lawrence's  place  with  llic  Castle  Square  Theatre  Com])any. 
ller  Work  i)r()\cd  so  satisfactory  during  the  first  few  weeks 
that  she  was  permanently  engaged,  and  during  her  sojourn  in 
Boston  she  made  many  friends  among  the  regular  patrons  of 
the  Castle  Square  Theatre. 

It  was  a  trying  ordeal  indeed  to  follow  in  the  footsteps  of 
a  remarkable  favorite,  for  she  was  obliged  to  overcome  ])reju- 
dice,  sentiment  and  long  established  precedents.  In  the 
second  play  of  her  engagement,  "The  Duel  of  Hearts,"  she 
was  given  the  jiart  of  "Lady  Anita  Stanhope,"  and  her  suc- 
cess was  instantaneous  and  lasting. 

Miss  Taylor  i)0ssesses  a  command  of  dramatic  resources 
that  make  her  an  ideal  member  for  a  stock  com})any.  Her 
light  comedy  work  is  charming  and  her  treatment  of  strong- 
dramatic  situations  reniarkably  effective',  besides  being  an 
emoti(jnal  actress  of  great  abilitv. 

In  the  part  of  "  Ro.\y,"  in  "  rudtl'nhead  Wilson,"  Miss 
Taylor  probably  reached  her  greatest  success  while  with  the 
Castle  Square  Theatre  Company.  "  In  dialect,  in  gait,  in 
mannerisms,  she  was  a  vivid  portraiture  of  the  woman  whose 
one-si.xteenth  part  of  crdored  blood  had  damned  her  beyond 
hope."

Miss  Atwell  is  an  old  Boston  favorite,  having  been  a

Six  Years  of  Drama 


After  leavini;-  school  her  first  engagement  was  with  Mrs. 
Thomas  Barry  and  Wilham  Redmond  in  "  The  Midnight 
Marriage.'"  Next  she  i^layed  ingenue  roles  with  the  late  John 
T.  Raymond  When  "  The  Octoroon  "  was  played  in  spec- 
tacular manner  at  the  Boston  Theatre  in  April,  1887,  Miss 
Aigen  played  the  i)art  of  "Zoe." 

I'or  several  seasons  Miss  Aigen  played  with  stock  com- 
panies and  on  the  road  in  heavy  roles,  and  the  experience 
gained  in  these  comi)anies  has  proved  of  great  value.  Miss 
Aigen  joined  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Company  on  May  13, 
1 90 1,  and  for  a  )ear  she  played  the  "heavy  parts  "  whenever 
there  was  such  a  character  in  the  bill,  at  other  times  being 
obliged  to  do  comedy  and  character  work.  At  all  times  she 
showed  her  ability  and  experience  by  a  careful  and  consistent 
portrayal  of  her  characters.  Her  lines  were  always  read  with 
intelligence  and  rare  dramatic  effect.

MAUDE    ODELL 

Miss  Odell  joined  the  company  in  January,  1S98,  making 
her  first  appearance  as  "  Antoinette  de  Mauban,"  in  "  The 
Prisoner  of  Zenda."  Her  personal  appearance  and  dramatic 
abihty  made  her  a  favorite  at  once,  and  as  long  as  she  re- 
mained with  the  company  she  was  held  in  high  esteem  by  the 


00  Six  Years  of  Drama 


patrons  of  the  house.  Miss  Odell  is  a  Southevn  girl,  born  in 
Beaufort,  a  smalltown  upon  an  island  in  Sciuth  Carolina,  and 
her  first  stage  work  was  with  K.  II.  Sothern  in  "The  Maister 
of  W'oodbarrow."  In  her  early  childhood  days  she  was  the 
leader  of  the  amateurs  of  her  acquaintance  and  figured  in 
those  well-remembered  tableaux  as  "Pocahontas"  and  "Min- 
nehaha "  because  she  was  dark  and  had  such  an  abundance  of 
dark  tresses.  Her  early  education  was  gained  in  a  convent. 
She  came  to  Boston  and  pursued  her  musical  studies  at  the 
New  I'^ngland  Conservatory  of  Music. 

After  a  short  time  in  .small  parts  .she  was  engaged  to 
play  "Helen  Truman"  in  "The  Wife,"  then  w^ith  the  Ly- 
ceum Stock  Company  productions  of  "  The  Prisoner  of 
Zenda,"  "First  Gentleman  of  P2urope,"  "The  Wife  of  W'il- 
loughby  "  and  "The  Amazons." 

At  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  as  "Antoinette  dc  Mau- 
ban "  she  carried  the  part  with  ease  and  went  through  the 
stronger  passages  with  fine  intensity  and  finish.  As  "Lady 
de  Winter"  in  "The  Three  Musketeers"  Miss  Odell  was  at 
her  best,  for  it  is  a  part  that  fits  her  like  a  glove,  and  she 
took  full  advantage  of  the  many  opportunities  it  offered  to 
show  her  talents. 

Since  leaving  Boston  Miss  Odell  has  })layed  many  of  her 
best  parts  and  she  has  also  sung  successfully  the  prima  donna 
roles  in  opera,  her  work  being  very  favorably  reported.

CORONA    RICCARDO. 


Miss  Riccardo  was  born  in  Naples,  of  Roman  parents, 
and  her  childhood  was  spent  in  the  convents  of  Southern 
France.  She  was  anxious  to  become  a  great  singer  and 
early  began  the  study  of  grand  opera,  but  gave  up  the  idea 
and  undertook  a  dramatic  career.      She  possesses    a    wealth

of  physiccil  perfection  that  shows  her  Southern  birth  — tall 
and  graceful,  with  a  beautiful  voice  that  shows  a  faint  trace  of 
foreig-ii  accent  i;iving  a  liquid  softness  without  marring.  Be- 
side this  exceptional  jihysical  endowment,  she  has  a  splendid 
intelligence  and  a  fine  dramatic  art. 

Her  hrst  ai)pearance  in  America  was  in  New  York  with 
Wilson  ISarrett.  Afterwards  she  was  Robert  Mantell's  chief 
supporter,  playing  such  roles  as  «  Juliet,"  *' Desdemona  "  and 
"Ophelia."  She  was  secured  by  Augustin  Daly  for  the 
"Countess  Mirza  "  in  the  original  production  of  «*  The  Great 
Ruby  "  and  created  a  sensation  in  the  jiart. 

Her  first  part  at  the  Castle  Stiuare  Theatre  was  as 
"  Countess  Mirza  "  and  is  well  remembered  for  its  strong 
emotional  qualities.  As  "  Louise  "  in  "  Imou  Im'ou  "  the  Bos- 
toil  Transcript  says  oi  her:  "Miss  Riccardo  was  a  positive 
pleasure.  Not  only  does  her  brilliant  dark  beauty  prove  an 
excellent  foil  to  the  light-haired  Gilberte,  but  the  exquisite 
charm  of  her  manners,  the  mobility  and  expressiveness  of  her 
face  and  the  musical  tones  of  her  well  modulated  voice  all 
combine  to  make  her  '  Louise '  a  character  not  soon  to  be  for- 
gotten." 

As  "  Princess  Venetia  Corona  "  in  "  Under  Two  Flags  " 
she  charmed  her  audience  by  a  thoroughly  artistic  impersona- 
tion and  added  an  important  element  in  the  success  of  the 
piece. 

Miss  Riccardo  was  not  long  with  the  company,  but  the 
few  parts  played  were  greatly  appreciated. 


NINA    MORRIS 

Miss  Morris  was  the  original  "heavy  woman"  of  the 
Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock  Company,  and  played  during  the 
first  season.  She  left  the  compan)-  for  a  while  to  engage 
elsewhere  and  then  returned  for  a  second  period. 

Tall,  dark,  and  of  a  fine  figure,  she  looked  the  parts  she 


M 


Six  Years  of  Dil\ma 


was  called  upon  to  jiorlray,  and  with  fine  dramalit-  skill  she 
read  her  lines  and  acted  her  characters.  i'ull  ot  southern  hre 
and  emotion,  her  work  on  the  stage  gave  an  effectiveness  to 
her  scenes  trul)-  magnificent.  Her  striking  face  and  figure 
played  no  small  part  in  winning  her  success. 

In  her  character  work,  i)robably  the  best  part  she  j^jlayed 
while  with  the  company  was  in  **  The  Great  Diamond 
Robbery"  as  "  Frau  Rosenbaum."  The  newspaper  report  of 
that  week  was  as  follows  : 

"In  this  role  Miss  Morris  does  some  of  the  best  work  of 
her  career  in  the  Castle  Square  Stock  Company.  Her 
mannerisms  of  voice  and  feature  are  relegated  entirely  to  the 
background,  and  she  succeeds  in  creating  a  complete  illusion. 
In  the  scene  in  the  fifth  act  where  the  notorious  old  hag: 
allows  all  the  ferocity  of  her  evil  nature  to  assert  itself,  Miss 
Morris  acted  with  splendid  force,  un marred  by  rant  or  ex- 
aggeration, and  in  the  quieter  scenes  she  was  natural  and 
thoroughly  effective." 

Miss  Morris  is  often  seen  in  Boston  with  companies  of 
national  reputation.

ADELAIDE    CUSHMAN 

Miss  Cushman  was  the  second  regularly  engaged  "heavy 
woman  "  of  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Company  following 
Miss  Morris'  first  engagement.  She  is  a  type  of  brunette 
beauty  which  seems  to  go  with  such  parts  as  fall  to  her  regu- 
lar line  of  business.

Company  the  fust  of  June,  1902,  and  played  through  the 
sunuucr,  most  of  her  work  bein_i;-  done  at  Music  Hall.  While 
not  necessary  from  a  theatrical  jjoint  of  view,  the  ''heavy 
women  "   at  the   Castle   Square    Theatre  have  nearly  always

been  decided  brunettes,  and  Miss  Clinton  was  no  exception 
to  the  rule.  Somewhat  petite,  she  carried  into  her  work  a 
vivacity  and  strenuousness  that  was  very  effective  in  her  vari- 
ous parts.  It  was  lier  fortune  to  be  oblii^ed  to  do  nicest  of  her 
parts  while  with  the  company  outside  of  her  regular  line,  but 
she  was  equally  satisfactory  in  comedy  or  character  work.  As 
"  Lvdia  Languish  "  in  "The  Rivals"  she  is  perhaps  remem- 
bered as  doing  extremely  well  in  a  very  famous  character, 
played,  as  it  has  been,  by  many  of  the  old-time  actors  and 
filled  with  the  traditions  of  the  sta^e.

MARY    YOUNG 

Miss  Young  began  her  professional  career  almost  from 
infancy.  It  is  said  that  actors  and  actresses  are  born,  not 
made.     Miss  Young  is  no  exception  to  the  rule. 

When  she  was  but  four  years  of  age  her  graceful  beauty, 
unusual  in   a  cliild,  di'cw  the  attention  of   Professor  Marwig, 


70  Six  Ykaks  ok  Drama 


the  tamous  tcaclior  oi  cUincin.i,^  in  New  York,  and  from  her 
parents  b,j  secured  her  services  in  ihe  •  Princess  Carnivals," 
\vl\ich  he  \;'a\e  annually  in  New  York,  Xewport  and  Xarra- 
gansott  Every  year  she  was  engaged  for  the  leading  part  in 
these  carnivals  up  to  the  time  she  was  twelve  years  old,  and 
all  tile  wiiile  she  was  studying  the  Delsartian  methods  and 
acquiring  new  steps  and  terpsichorean  movement. 

The  late  Augustin  Daly  saw  Miss  Young  at  one  of  these 
entertainments  antl  that  astute  manager  at  once  saw  possihili- 
ties  in  the  child. 

I'or  three  years  Miss  Young  studied  with  Mr.  Daly, 
never  for  a  moment  outside  the  watchful  care  of  her  mother, 
and  then  when  the  famous  production  of  "A  Midsummer 
Nights  Dream  "  was  given,  Miss  Young  was  assigned  the  role 
of   "Titania." 

I-'or  some  time  she  played  "  Titania,"  and  then  was  cast 
for  "  Puck,"  and  there  is  a  tradition  on  the  stage  to-day  that 
her  jicrformance  of  this  character  has  never  since  been 
equalled.  Miss  Young  was  now  a  regular  member  of  Mr, 
Daly's  exclusive  organization.  On  the  i/lh  of  Marcli,  1892, 
Tennyson's  play  of  "'Ihe  I^'oresters  "  was  read  to  the  mem- 
bers, and  on  this  day  she  first  met  her  husband,  John  Craig, 
who  had  joined  Mr.  Daly's  forces. 

Some  time  after  the  comjxuiy  went  to  England,  and  on 
the  17th  of  March,  1894,  in  the  quaint  old  cliurch  of 
St.  (liles-in-the-l'ield,  in  London,  Mary  Young  became  Mrs. 
John  Craig 

She  remained  with  Mr.  Daly  for  eight  )cars,  and  then 
did  stock  work  with  W'agenhals  and  Kem]:)lcr.  She  was  for  a 
time  with  (ieorge  W.  Lederer  and  Charles  i^'rohman,  and  has 
played  (hiring  her  professional  Wfc  in  all  the  large  cities  of  the 
country. 

Some  three  years  ago  she  was  a  member  of  the  Castle 
Square  Company  for  one  season,  but  since  that  time  she  has 
remained  off  the  stage.  She  is  an  accomplished  dancer,  is 
the  ixDssessor  of  a  good  singing  \oice  and,  from  her  tutelage 
with  Mr.  Daly,  has  learned  more  of  the  histrionic  art  than 
many  actresses  of  to-day  can  boast.

MARIAN    CHAPMAN 

Miss  Chapman  was  born  in  Baltimore  and  is  connected 
with  one  of  the  oldest  and  best  families  in  that  historic  South- 
ern city.  The  old  saying  that  Baltimore  girls  are  the  most 
beautiful  in  the  country  has  no  exception  in  the  case  of  Miss 
Chapman.      After  a  high  school  education  she  decided  to  take 


72  'Six     Vl'.AKS    l)|'-     DUAMA 

up  the  Stage  for  the  career  vi  her  life  and  joined  the  Empire 
School  of  Acting  of  New  York.  Her  advancement  was  rapid 
and  she  was  soon  engaged  with  1^'rank  Ferlcy  to  pkiy  "  Mary 
Alymer  "  in  "The  Sporting  Duchess."  She  was  next  cast  as 
"Flora  Campbell  "  in  "Beside  the  Bonnie  l^riar  l^ush,"  mak- 
ing the  hit  of  the  piece.  It  was  while  playing  in  "The  Sport- 
ing Duchess "  that  the  management  of  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  saw  her  cle\er  work  and  engaged  her  for  the  Stock 
Company,  which  she  joined  in  May,  1898. 

Miss  ChajMiian  is  a  hard-working,  conscientious,  studious 
plaver,  and  her  whole  life  is  wrapped  up  in  her  work.  Her 
remarkable  resemblance  to  Julia  Marlowe  has  been  noticed  and 
commented  upon. 

Few  actresses  are  wholl)-  acceptable  in  boy's  attire,  which 
is  apt  to  disjilay  rather  than  disguise  their  femininity,  but  Miss 
Chapman  is  fortunate  in  this  respect  and  her  boys  are  really 
boyish. 

While  at  the  Castle  Sc[uare  Theatre  Miss  Chapman's 
work  was  most  acceptable.  She  was  always  ready  for  any 
emergency,  as  will  be  recalled  when  during  the  run  of  "  The 
Little  Minister"  she  took  Miss  Lawrence's  part  of  "  l^abbie  " 
at  short  notice,  the  leading  lady  having  sprained  her  ankle 
during  the  second  week  of  the  ])lay. 

On  leaving  this  company  she  was  engaged  to  play  a 
principal  part  in  "  The  Village  Postmaster."  She  has  since 
been  seen  in  "  Ouincy  Adams  Sawyer"  and  other  productions. 

Miss  Chaj^man  is  successful  in  always  getting  good  en- 
gagements with  no  intervals  between.  Her  future  is  full  of 
promise.

FANNY    ADDISON    PITT 

Mrs.  ritt  has  played  a  number  of  engagements  with  the 
Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock  Company,  the  longest  of  which 
was  during  the  summer  of  1902,  most  of  the  time  being  spent 
at  Music  Hall.  She  is  one  of  the  most  versatile  actresses  of 
the  old  school  and  has  a  national  reputation   in   many  of  her

parts.  The  picture  accompan)in<;  this  sketch  was  taken  in 
one  of  her  most  famous  characters,  "Mrs.  Malaprop"  in  "The 
Rivals,"  a  part  in  which  she  has  no  superior. 

Many  vears  of  exjierience  i)kiying"  a  loni;- list  of  characters 
have  iri'.en  Mrs.  Pitt  a  linish  in  her  work  that  is  the  env\-  of 
the  younger  generation,  kroni  licr  first  entrance  till  hcv  exit 
every  detail  of  her  acting  has  a  finish  that  marks  the  mas- 
ter hand. 

In  the  okl  comedies  long  since  become  classics  in  Eng- 
lish literature  she  is  particulaily  fascinating  on  account  of  the 
purity  of  the  atmosphere  surrounding  her  characters.  The 
person  represented  seems  to  have  stepped  out  of  the  book  and 
on  to  the  stage.  Her  work  alone  is  sufficient  to  carr\-  the 
performance.  Engaged  with  the  Castle  Square  'I'heatre 
Company  to  do  "old  women,"  she  gave  full  measure  of  satis- 
faction and  her  work  while  here  was  alwa}S  pleasurable  in 
the  extreme.  In  her  "character  old  women,"  such  as  "  I^a 
Frochard  "  in  "The  Two  Orphans"  and  "  .Sheelah  "  in  "The 
Colleen  Bawn,"  she  entered  into  the  spirit  of  the  part  and  no 
opportunity  was  neglected  to  make  a  thorough  and  mnsistciit 
character. 

Mrs.  Pitt  belongs  in  Bo.ston  and  when  ntit  engaged  in 
her  [)rofessional  duties  is  the  centre  of  much  social  activity.

LIZZIE    MORGAN 

Miss  Elizabeth  Morgan  was  born  in  Sydney,  N.  S.  \V., 
and  made  licr  first  appearance  in  supi)ort  of  Mme.  Celeste,  a 
great  artist.  She  was  chosen  for  her  double  in  "  Like  and 
Unlike."  The  engagement  was  considered  an  lionor  for  a 
girl  but  sixteen  years  old.      She  played   in   suppt  rt   of  many

stars,  working  her  way  uinvanl  until  slu>  held  the  position  of 
leachnj;'  woman. 

Her  first  appearance  in  America  was  in  a  company 
manag-cd  by  her  sister,  I^'anny  Morgan  I'hclps,  which  played 
at  Victoria,  Portland,  Ore.,  and  Puget  Souiul.  In  this  company 
was  Mr.  James  O.  Barrow,  who  for  a  time  was  comedian  at 
the  Castle  Square  Theatre.  After  two  )ears  in  America  she 
returned  to  Australia,  carrying  with  her  many  ballads  that 
she  knew  would  be  novelties  in  that  country.  She  stopped 
at  New  Zealand  and  signed  an  engagement,  opening  in 
"School,"  in  which  she  introduced  some  of  her  songs,  which 
became  very  popular.  While  in  New  Zealand  she  supjDortcd 
many  stars  toiuing  in  that  country,  including  Charles  Wheat- 
ley,  the  Linyards,  Mrs.  Scott-Siddons  and  J.  K.  Emmett. 
She  played  in  New  Zealand  Shakespearian  comedy,  burlesque 
and  melodrama. 

Miss  Morgan  came  to  this  country  a  second  time  and 
played  engagements  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  and  finally  came 
]^:ast,  Inlaying  in  Mr.  l^rady's  companies. 

She  was  an  original  member  of  the  Castle  Sc|uare  Theatre 
Stock  Company,  and  was  ^•ery  popular  dunng  her  two  years' 
stav.  Her  work  covered  a  wide  range  of  p;irts,  from  the 
stately  dowager  in  the  society  drama  to  the  "old  woman  "  in 
melodrama.  Mcr  years  of  experience  showed  their  \alue  in 
all  her  work,  and  a  glance  at  the  programs  of  the  plays  in 
which  she  appealed  will  show  better  than  any  words  her  great 
versatility,  as  in  all  her  jxuts  she  was  successful,  ller  make- 
ups in  character  work  will  be  recalled  by  the  j^atnjns  of  the 
hou.se  who  were  fortunate  enough  to  have  seen  her  in  the 
early  days  of  the  company. 

Miss  Morgan  is  still  playing  imi)ortant  engagements.

LEONORA    GNITO 


Miss  Gnito  made  her  first  appearance  at  the  Castle

in  a  number  of  operas.  She  early  began  the  study  of  music, 
inteuding  to  make  it  her  business.  After  singing  in  a  num- 
ber of  comjDanies  came  a  short  season  without  an  engagement,

ami  she  tried  dramatic  work,  ll  provinj;-  to  be  an  interesting 
ventiux',  she  continued  in  ihat  business  and  became  very  suc- 
cessful in  the  line  of  parts  entrusted  to  her.  Miss  (inito  has 
a  remarkable  aptitude  for  hard  work,  and  newr  was  better 
suited  than  when  given  a  long,  hard  ijart  to  prejjare  at  short 
notice. 

She  considered  her  Castle  Scjuare  Theatre  experience  a 
school  in  which  she  was  learning  in  a  thorough  manner  all 
that  was  necessary  for  her  to  know.  While  here  she  tried 
hard  to  please,  and  received  rmnh  ]iraise  for  the  excellence  rf 
her  work. 

It  was  her  lot  to  do  a  great  number  of  second  parts,  and 
in  these  she  tried  to  do  all  she  could  to  help  emphasize  the 
situations  of  the  leading  part. 

By  her  personality  and  the  force  of  her  work  her  pres- 
ence was  felt  at  all  times,  and  when  she  left  the  company  it 
was  with  the  regrets  of  all  on  both  sides  of  the  curtain.

JENNIE    KENDRICK 

Miss  Kendrick  was  born  in  Illinois,  not  far  from  the 
town  where  her  husband,  Mr.  James  L.  Seeley,  was  born. 
She  comes  from  a  Southern  family  of  note,  although  her 
original  American  ancestor  settled  in  Boston  in  1623.  She 
received  her    early  education   in   her  native    town,   and  after 


80  Six  Years  ok  Drama 


graduation  taught  school  for  a  few  years.  She  also  was  the 
society  reporter  for  a  Ouincy,  111.,  newspaper,  and  wrote  articles 
for  the  Toledo  Blade. 

Her  first  appearance  on  the  stage  was  as  ''Valentine "'  in 
"A  Celebrated  Case  "  with  the  old  time  actor,  Horace  Her- 
bert. Her  first  Eastern  engagement  was  with  Sam  Ryan 
and  Lottie  Gilson,  whom  she  left  to  join  Munay  &  Mack 
in  Irish  comedies.  She  next  signed  with  h'rohman's  "Jane'' 
company.  Just  before  coming  to  Boston  she  was  with  Ethel 
Tucker  in  a  travelling  stock  company.  She  has  played  "  leads," 
"heavies,"  "characters"  and   "  soubrettcs." 

Miss  Kendrick  has  played  over  two  hundred  parts  of  all 
kinds,  and  is  a  valuable  member  for  a  stock  company.  She  is 
rarely  seen  on  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  stage,  but  whenever 
needed  is  always  pleasantly  received  by  the  audience. 

Her  time  is  spent  in  social  duties  and  in  assisting  her 
husband  in  his  work.  She  is  vice-president  of  the  Actors' 
Church  Alliance,  and  gives  a  great  deal  of  time  to  that  work, 
being  always  on  the  executive  committee  in  all  their  under- 
takings. Her  scrap-books  of  stage  articles  are  marvels  of 
completeness,  and  are  the  result  of  an  immense  amount  of 
work.  She  possesses  a  collection  of  })hotographs  and  auto- 
graphs of  stage  celebrities  probably  unequalled.

"Little  Eva"  in  "Uncle  Tom's  Cabin." 

Miss  Macdonakl  is  tall  and  stately  and  of  very  great 
beauty.  Most  of  the  parts  she  has  pla\ed  al  the  Castle 
Square  Theatre  have  been  characters  in  which  her  personal 
charms  have  shown  to  the  best  acKantage. 

Miss  Macdonakl  is  the  wife  of  Mr.  Wade,  of  this  com- 
pany and  has  a  very  beautiful  home  at  Arlington.  Her 
social  duties  are  very  many,  but  she  finds  time  to  be  of  great

i\Iiss  Morison  was  in  the  old  opera  company  with  her  husband, 
and  while  she  is  not  now  a  re,r;ular  member,  she  is  con- 
sidered to  be  oneol  tlie  family.  She  is  not  at  present  engaged 
in  any  theatrical  work,  finding  her  duties  at  home  sufficient  to 
keep  her  busy.  She  is  of  great  help  to  her  husband  in  his 
work,  and  is  occasionally  seen  on  the  Castle  Square  Theatre 
stage  when  emergencies  arise  or  a  number  of  extra  people 
are  needed. 

Miss  Morison  has  done  a  large  number  of  parts,  both 
"straight"  and  in  character.  She  is  favorably  recalled  as 
"Mrs.  .Micawber"  in  "Little  lun'ly."  In  that  play  she  was 
very  fortunate  in  her  make-up,  carefully  following  the  famous 
picture  of  Cruikshank. 

All  her  work  in  the  company  has  been  satisfactory  from 
every  point  of  view.  Her  personal  attractions  are  of  a  strik- 
ing quality,  being  a  decided  blonde  and  somewhat  above  the 
average  height  of  figure.

lunalc  iiulccil  ihal  the  leading  i)arls  Tell  to  such  a  competent 
actor.  He  did  much  towards  the  accom})hshmeiit  of  the 
success  that  crowned  the  efforts  of  the  company  from  the 
very  start. 

Mr.  (lihnoiu-'s  <;reat  knowlcdQ-c  of  dramatic  art  was 
shown  at  its  best  when  he  adapted  for  stage  production  Mr. 
Ticknor's  excellent  translation  of  Rostand's  "  Cyrano  de  Ber- 
gerac."  This  was  done  in  a  very  short  time  and  with  Mr. 
(iilmour  in  tlie  title  role  proved  to  be  as  successful  as  any 
American  stage  production  of  the  celebrated  poem. 

Mr.  Gilmour  was  the  original  "  I-Carl  of  Dorincourt  "  in 
"  Little  Lord  l^^auntleroy,"  and  his  conception  and  make-up 
have  always  been  the  standard  for  other  actors  who  have 
played  the  part. 

In  all  romantic  roles  he  showed  a  dash  and  spirit  that 
gave  an  atmosj^here  of  realism  to  the  stage  heroes  so  nec- 
essary to  the  success  of  such  plays.  His  "  Rudolph  "'  in  "  The 
Prisoner  of  Zenda  "  was  one  of  his  man\'  delightful  characters 
in  that  class  of  plays.  He  was  at  his  best,  however,  in  the 
many  society  plays  produced  during  the  first  two  years  of  the 
company's  existence. 

/YwiC  and  tJie  Hour  aptly  says,  "  Mr.  dilmour,  among 
the  younger  players,  is  almost  the  typical  realizer  of  genu- 
ine p.)lite  elegance  on  the  stage.  The  Gilmour  'Karl  of 
Dorincourt '  must  always  remain  a  classic  memory  of  in- 
grained patrician  feeling.  Throughout  all  Mr.  (jilmour's 
characters  ran  this  note  of  fineness.  His  smooth  tri]iping 
eloquence  at  times  tinkled  like  a  music-box  among  the  horns 
of  Wagner." 


WILLIAM   COURTLEIGH 

Mr.  Courtleigh  is  a  youni;  man  who  is  an  American 
citizen  by  right  of  good  sense.  He  was  born  in  Canada,  but 
after  becoming  one  of  our  actors  he  concluded  to  beccjme  one 
of  us,  and  the  law  made  him  an  American.  Personally  there 
is  an  impression  of  reliability  about  him  that  ought  to  make 


88  Six  Years  of  Drama 


him  a  favorite,  and  this  has  been  the  case  so  far  in  his  career. 

After  his  college  clays  were  over  he  began  the  study  of 
law  and  it  was  while  busy  at  this  that  he  became  inoculated 
with  staire  fever.  He  found  his  talent  for  this  sort  of  work 
by  an  indulgence  in  amateur  theatricals  and  so  he  threw  law 
to  the  winds  and  went  on  the  stage.  He  gained  his  first 
experience  by  barn-storming  and  although  he  does  not  care  to 
repeat  it  he  knows  that  he  owes  something  good  to  it. 

Mr.  Courtleigh's  early  career  was  through  the  West  in 
small  companies.  His  first  important  engagement  was  with 
Fanny  Davenport  in  "Cleopatra,"  in  which  he  played  "Deme- 
trius." During  the  same  season  he  i)la}ed  juvenile  parts  in 
"  Fedora  "  and  "  La  Tosca." 

Mr.  Courtleigh  is  a  very  versatile  actor,  having  played 
the  heavy  part  in  "Michael  Strogoff"  leads  with  Helen 
Dauvray,  romantic  parts  with  Margaret  Mather,  juveniles  and 
characters.  He  is  capable  of  brilliant  work  and  makes  any 
part  he  assumes  noteworthy. 

While  at  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  during  the  summer 
of  1899  he  became  very  popular  with  both  the  patrons  of  the 
house  and  the  company.  He  was  seen  in  a  dozen  plays  and 
his  work  was  invariably  of  a  very  high  order. 

During  the  past  four  years  he  has  played  leading  parts 
in  many  of  the  great  productions  and  also  in  support  of  the 
eminent  stars  of  the  day. 

His  genial  disposition  and  kindness  of  manner  are  appar- 
ent on  a  first  acquaintance  and  grow  upon  one  continually. 
He  has  all  the  qualities  of  a  romantic  actor  developed  to  per- 
fection. 


FRANKLYN    RITCHIE 


Mr.  Ritchie  played  a  short  engagement  as  leading  man 
of  the  company  during  the  summer  of  1900,  while  Mr.  Craig 
was  taking  a  needed  rest. 

While  his  opportunities  here  were  few,  he  made  the 
most  of  them,  and  pla}cd  his  parts  with  the  quiet  dignity  that

he  has  always  shown  elsewhere.  He  made  a  distinct  success 
as  "Willie  I.oveall"  in  "The  Man  from  Mexico."  He  also 
pla}-ed  in  "The  Late  Mr.  Castcllo,"  and  "A  ]m)o1  of  I'^ortmie."

FRANK    SHERIDAN 

Mr.  Sheridan  played  a  few  weeks'  engagement  during  the 
summer  of  1899,  and  his  manly  way  of  doing  his  parts  was 
much  enjoyed  by  the  patrons  of  the  house.  His  earnest  work 
as  the  minister  in  "A  Temperance  Town"  marked  him  as  a 
conscientious,  painstaking  actor,      llis  gentlemanl)  bearing  at

all  times  made  him  popular  with  the  members  of  the  company. 
The  few  parts  played  b)'  Mr.  Sheridan  were  fa\orably  recei\ed 
by  the  audience,  and  the  public  press  gave  him  very  compli- 
mentary criticisms  of  all  his  work,  making  special  mention  of 
his  fine  figure  and  pleasing  voice.  .Mr.  Sheridan  returned  to 
the  theatre  the  summer  of  1900  and  phiNol  duiing  tlic  long 
run  of  "  A  Temperance  Town,"  and  was  heartily  welcomed 
on  his  appearance  in  the  same  part  taken  by  him  a  year  before.

HALLETT    THOMPSON 

Mr  Thompson  was  engaged  for  the  summer  season  of 
1902  to  take  Mr.  Craig's  place,  while  that  gentleman  was 
taking  his  customary  vacation.  He  played  a  few  weeks  at 
the  Castle  Square  Theatre,  and  went  with  the  company  to 
Music  Hall.      His   manly   appearance,   and   the   quality  of  his

work,  won  for  him  the  a})plausc  of  the  lari;c  auchcnccs  which 
attended  the  performances  last  summer,  lie  divided  honors 
with  Miss  Mall  on  all  occasions.  Mr.  'rhonijison  pays  strict 
attention  to  his  work,  giving  it  the  same  careful  attention  that 
any  good  business  man  gives  to  the  work  that  brings  him  his 
living. 

A  glance  at  the  j^rogiams  ol  I  lie  sununcr  season  of  1902 
will  show  at  once  the  \  ery  high  order  of  plays  produced 
at  that  time,  and  when  is  added  the  fact  that  Mr.  Thompson 
received  the  greatest  commendation  of  the  J^oston  press 
critics,  it  will  be  apparent  that  his  work  must  be  of  a  very 
high  degree  of  excellence. 

As  "Allen  Rollitt '"  in  "  The  Maister  of  \\'oo(ll)an-ow  "  he 
was  excellent  throughout,  never  for  a  moment  forgetting  the 
quaint  dialect  or  simplicity  of  the  i^iart.  As  "  Pygmalion  " 
in  "Pygmalion  and  Galatea"  Mr.  Thom])son  was  excellent, 
and  in  all  of  the  scenes  in  which  he  and  Miss  Hall  appeared 
the  audience  became  for  the  time  being  lost  to  itself. 

The  greatest  thing  that  can  be  said  of  an  actor,  or  a 
man,  is  that  he  completely  fills  any  position  in  which  he  finds 
himself.  This  Mr.  Thompson  did  while  with  the  Castle 
Square  Theatre  Stock  Company.

ROBERT    ELLIOT 


Mr.  Elliot  played  with  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock 
Company  a  few  weeks  at  the  beginning  of  the  summer  season 
of  1902,  playing  "heavy  business"  most  acceptably.  In  all 
his  characters  he  shows  a  vigor  that  is  appreciated  in  dramatic 
work.      As  "  Jaccjucs  I'^rochard  "   in   "The  Two  Orj^hans"   his 


96 


Six  Vfars  of  Drama 


\v(Mk  was  flawless  and  received  great  praise  from  the  I^oston 
papers.  In  "Tiie  Colleen  l^awn  "  he  jilayed  "  Danny  Mann," 
the  most  difficult  part  in  the  piece,  and  both  his  conception 
and  his  execution  were  artistic  and  at  all  i)oints  self-consistent. 
Mr.  Elliot's  sojourn  with  the  company  was  greatly  en- 
joyed by  his  associates  who  admired  his  bcjhemian  ways  and 
great  good  nature  and  appreciated  his  al)ility  as  an  actor.

WILLIAM    HUMPHREY 

Mr.  Humphrey  was  the  original  ''heavy  man"  of  the 
Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock  Company,  and  his  work  in  that 
line  will  always  be  remembered.  He  is  an  actor  by  reason  of 
natural  talent  so  strong  that  he  could  have  been  nothing  else. 
When  only  a  boy  he  gained  a  certain  knowledge  of  stage-craft 


08  Six    ^'KAKs  oi-  T)r\\i\ 

by  acting  as  an  amateur,  and  when  lie  thought  of  a  Hte-work 
there  was  only  this  which  he  cared  to  follow  or  felt  that  he 
could.  Mis  first  engagement  was  in  Philadelphia  in  small 
parts,  and  his  early  experiences  were  varied. 

Mr.  Humphrey  has  played  in  almost  every  section  of  the 
United  States  either  as  a  star  or  in  support  of  the  leading- 
actors.  This  training  has  i)roved  of  great  value,  and  has  em- 
braced all  the  branches  (jf  the  profession  :  leads,  heavies, 
romantic  and  society  parts.  In  Shakespearian  and  historical 
roles  he  has  gained  the  highest  commendation.  He  considers 
a  stock  company  as  affording  the  best  oppoitunitics  to  the 
young  actor,  and  giving  him  a  training  that  is  not  to  be  had 
in  a  company  playing  one  or  two  plays  for  a  season.  For  the 
trained  actor  it  brings  certain  i)leasures  and  possibilities  of 
social  and  home  life  that  are  sufficient  to  overbalance  any 
gain  that  may  come  to  the  actor  on  the  road.  There  is  a 
sense  of  friendliness  in  belonging  to  a  congenial  company  and 
in  playing  to  the  same  audiences  that  makes  such  stock  com- 
panies as  the  Castle  Square  particularly  desirable. 

While  at  this  theatre  Mr.  Humphrey  played  a  long  list 
of  parts,  all  of  which  were  thoroughly  done.  His  favorite 
role  while  here  was  that  of  "  Cai)tain  Da\eni)ort  "  in  "Ala- 
bama." His  "villains"  were  always  skilfully  acted,  whether 
it  was  the  gentleman  with  the  finesse  in  his  roguery  or  a 
ruffian  of  the  "  ]^ill  Sykes  "  type. 

Since  leaving  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  he  has  ])la\ed 
a  number  of  starring  tours,  and  has  su])ported  many  of  the 
eminent  actors  of  the  day,  his  "  Napoleon  "  in  "  More  than 
Queen"  in  sup])ort  of  Julia  Arthur  being  a  character  for 
which  he  was  admirably  fitted.

NED    H.   FO\VLER 


Mr.  Fowler  is  a  native  of  Westfield,  Mass.  He  made 
his  first  appearance  on  the  professional  stage  at  the  Castle 
Square  in  a  very  small  part,  si)eaking  scarcely  a  half-dozen 
words.  His  progress  in  his  chosen  profession  was  swift  and 
at  the  time  he  left  the  company  in  May,    1900,  he  was  the 


100  Six  Years  of  Drama 


regularly  engaged  "heavy  man."  This  remarkable  advance 
nient  was  earnctl  by  his  great  dramatic  ability  and  the  effec 
tiveness  of  his  work. 

Ik'  niailc  his  first  great  hit  as  "  h^-ank  l^cdloe "  in 
'' Shenantloah."  /Vlthough  a  small  part  he  had  one  fine  scene 
which  gave  him  an  opportunity  and  he  made  the  most  of  this 
chance.      His  advance  from  this  on  was  rapid  and  safe. 

In  the  part  of  "Col,  Thorpe"  in  "The  Heart  of  Mary- 
land" his  work  was  as  finished  as  it  could  be  and  hclj^ed  to 
make  necessary  the  long  run  of  this  pla}'  at  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre.  The  Boston  Transcript  of  that  week  says  :  "  To  Mr. 
Fowler  fell  the  unthankful  task  of  portraying  a  traitor  to  both 
North  and  South  —  a  man  without  a  country  —  and  his  acting 
was  easily  one  of  the  best  things  of  the  performance ;  in  fact, 
the  part  was  one  of  the  best  things  he  has  ever  done  here, 
and  we  can  recall  nothing  that  he  has  not  done  well." 

Mr.  Fowler  is  a  thorough  sportsman  and  enjoys  nothing 
better  than  wading  a  trout  brook  with  a  light  rod  or  casting 
flies  in  a  likely  pool.  At  the  end  of  a  day's  fishing  his  basket 
is  sure  to  weigh  tlie  most  and  lie  takes  great  pleasure  in  tell- 
ing just  how  the  big  one  was  landed. 

Mr.  Fowler  makes  friends  quickly  and  easily,  most  people 
being  drawn  to  him  on  first  acquaintance. 

Like  all  "heavy  men,"  his  ambition  alwa)'s  was  to  play 
"  leads  "  and  since  he  left  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock 
Company  he  has  been  doing  leading  parts  with  great  success 
having  played  a  long  Metropolitan  engagement  besides  his 
tours  to  many  of  the  large  cities.

iq.  1900,  stavin*.;;  with  the  com|)any  until  September  i,  1902. 
While  at  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  he  did  "heavy  business' 
and  gained  a  great  many  warm  friends  b}-  his  remarkable 
dramatic  ability. 

Mr.  l^reese  plays  all  his  parts  with  a  strength  and  \igor 
that  would  be  impossible  in  a  man  not  endowed  with  his 
superb  physique.  1  lis  "  villains  "  are  always  bad  men,  and  while 
detesting  the  character  portrayed,  the  audiences  have  always 
been  glad  to  give  Mr.  Breese  the  ai)|)lause  his  acting  merits. 

In  the  few  comedy  parts  which  Mr.  Breese  had  the 
opi:)ortunity  to  do  his  work  was  equally  good.  As  "Leopold 
]-}rand."  the  head  waiter  in  "At  the  White  Horse  Tavern,  "  he 
proved  just  the  man  for  the  part,  and  "His  whole  perform- 
ance was  a  very  highly  finished  and  telling  piece  of  art ;  with 
an  immense  amount  of  cunning  detail  work,  he  never  marred 
the  main  outlmes  of  the  character." 

Mr.  l^reese  during  the  past  season  has  been  on  a  star- 
ring tovu',  and  latelv  has  been  doing  a  little  vaudeville  work.

CHARLES    D.   MACKAY 


Mr.  Mackay  was  born  in  Philadelphia,  and  is  the  son  of 
the  well-known  actor  and  manager,  F.  F.  Mackay.  He  was 
educated  in  New  York,  and  graduated  from  New  York  Uni- 
versity. 

His  first  theatrical  engagement  was  with   Marie  Wain- 


104  Six  Vkars  ok  Drama 


Wright  and  Louis  James,  with  whom  ho  pkucd  small  parts  in 
their  various  plays.  He  was  engaged  for  three  years  by 
Manager  Charles  Frohman,  doing  juvenile  business.  He  has 
played  with  many  of  the  leading  managers,  including  Mr. 
K.  S.  Willard,  with  whom  he  played  "Laertes"  in  "Hamlet." 

Mr.  Mackay  was  one  of  the  original  members  of  the 
Castle  Square  Theatre  Company,  and  his  personal  appearance 
and  attractixe  manner  ha\-e  always  been  favorably  regarded 
by  all  who  have  ever  been  patrons  of  the  house.  His  excel- 
lent work  is  the  result  of  his  early  training  under  his  father, 
and  also  from  his  experience  gained  in  the  varicjiis  companies 
with  which  he  has  been  connected. 

While  on  the  stage  the  effect  of  his  presence  is  pleasing 
in  the  extreme,  and  no  matter  what  the  part  he  is  i)laying,  his 
magnetism  makes  it  acceptable. 

Mr.  Mackay  has  many  times  been  cast  in  character  parts, 
to  the  great  amusement  of  the  audience.  He  possesses  a 
French  dialect  that  is  very  mirthful,  as  will  be  recalled  from 
his  work  in  "The  Amazons"  and  "Too  Much  Johnson." 
While  with  the  company  he  played  a  great  number  of  jiarts, 
all  so  well  that  special  mention  of  any  is  not  desirable. 

T^or  six  years  Mr.  Mackay  was  a  popular  member  w^ith  his 
comrades,  and  his  sudden  determination  to  seek  new  fields 
was  a  decided  shock  to  his  friends.  Always  affable,  cheerful 
in  disposition,  he  is  the  veritable  "prince  of  good  fellows." 


JAMES    O.   BARROWS 

Mr.  Barrows  was  the  comedian  of  the  Castle  Square

November,  when  he  secured  his  release  to  accept  a  very  flat- 
terinsf  ensrairement  elsewhere.

same  as  in  other  lines. 

.Mr.  Jiarrow.s  is  an  old  favorite  with  Boston  audiences, 
and  during  his  career  at  this  house  his  work  was  enjoyed. 
He  carries  all  his  parts  with  an  ease  and  facility  only  attained 
by  experience.  As  "Macclesfield"  in  "The  (iuv'nor "  he 
scored  a  success  in  a  part  made  famous  by  another  Boston 
C(.)median,  Mr.  George  W.  Wilson,  and  Mr.  Ikrrows  lost  noth- 
ing by  the  inevitable  comparison.  In  "The  Great  Diamond 
Robbery "  Mr.  Barrows  shone  resplendent  as  "  Senator  Mc- 
Sorker,"  and  gave  a  laughable  impersonation  of  the  traditional 
ward  politician  of  New  York  City. 

Mr.  Barrows  has  lately  been  seen  in  \aude\  ille  in  a  very

dramatic  skill  to  best  advantage.

HORACE    LEWIS 

Mr.  Lewis  was  one  of  the  original  members  of  the 
Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock  Company  and  played  at  this 
theatre  for  a  year  and  three  months.  He  acceptabl}'  portrayed 
the  leading  comedy  and  character  roles,  and  was  widely  pop- 
ular, lie  pla\-ed  a  very  large  number  of  j^arts,  and  in  all  of 
them  he  pixn'cd  his  exceptional  ability  and  versatility. 


108  Six  Years  of  Drama 


Mr.  Lewis  is  a  Boston  boy,  born  and  l^ral.  lie  took  to 
the  stage  while  in  his  teens,  and  for  thirty  years  has  played 
mnumerable  characters  throughout  the  length  and  breadth  of 
the  United  States.  For  several  )ears,  with  his  wife  and  son, 
he  starred  successfully  as  "  Monte  Cristo."  Just  previous  to 
his  engagement  at  this  theatre  he  was  a  member  of  Chas. 
Frohman's  Company,  in  support  of  Annie  Russell  in  "Sue," 
arid  many  i)laygoers  remember  vividU'  his  portrayal  of  "Silas 
Prescott  "  during  the  run  of  that  play  at  the  Boston  Museum. 

Mr.  Lewis'  most  successful  roles  at  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  were  ''Old  Eccles "  in  "Caste,"  "  Micawber "  in 
"Little  Em"ly,"  "Old  Rogers'"  in  "  l':smeralda,"  "Hop 
Kee  "  in  "The  First  Born,"  and  "Buchanan  Billings"  in  "His 
Wife's  Father." 

After  leaving  the  theatre  Mr.  Lewis  was  engaged  by 
Julia  Arthur,  and  played  in  "  Ligomar,"  "A  Lady  of  Quality," 
"  Camille,"  and  "As. You  Like  It.  "  He  has  also  played  in  a 
number  of  other  companies,  and  starred  successfully  in  plays 
made  famous  by  Sol  Smith  Russell. 

Mr.  Lewis  possesses  a  fine  sense  of  humor,  and  his 
character  work  was  greatly  appreciated  by  his  associates  as 
well  as  by  the  audience.  His  make  ups  were  works  of  art,  and 
his  appearance  was  mirthful  before  he  spoke  a  line.  The 
following  was  taken  from  the  Boston  Transcript,  of  Tuesday, 
April  5,  i89(S,  during  the  week  of  the  production  of  "  Es- 
meralda "  : 

"Mr.  Lewis'  'Old  Rogers'  is  an  extremely  vivid  por- 
traiture of  a  type  of  character  habitual  in  a  vast  majority 
of  American  plays.  That  Mr.  Lewis  succeeds  in  making 
'  Rogers '  distinct  and  indixidr.al  above  others  of  his  type 
proves  the  completeness  of  his  interpretation,  and  the  breadth 
of  his  technique.  In  Mr.  Lewis'  hands,  'Old  Rogers'  is  as 
genuinely  human  and  .sympathetic  a  figure  as  could  be 
imagined." 


GILES    SHINE 


Mr.  Shine  played  the  comedy  parts  at  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  for  a  few  months  during  the  season  of  1898-99,  He

not  many,  but  were  siifficiont  to  show  his  woi  tli  and  abihly. 
His  best  part  at  this  house  was  in  "The  ProcU-al  Daughter," 
in  which  he  was  cast  as  "  Dudley  Roper,"  a  comedy  villain 
witli  Hebraic  dialect.  Concerning;  this  part,  the  following, 
taken  from  the  Boston  Joitnial  of  February  21,  1899,  is  an 
honest  opinion  of  Mr.  Shine's  wcjrk : 

"Mr.  ("liles  Shine  as  'Dudley  Roper'  gave  a  character 
sketch  which  quite  overshadowed  everything  else,  and  yet  was 
not  out  of  harmony.  He  made  much  of  the  role,  and  every- 
thing he  did  was  well  done.  In  fact,  it  was  quite  the  most 
artistic  part  of  the  play." 

Mr.  Shine  is  the  husband  of  La\inia  Shannon,  who 
played  leading  parts  with  the  company  during  the  summer 
of  1902.

TONY    CUMMINGS 

Mr.  Cummings,  whose  recent  death  severely  shocked  his 
friends,  was  the  original  manager  of  the  Castle  Square  Theatre 
Stock  Company  and  to  him  should  be  given  the  credit  of 
bringing  together  the  admirable  dramatic  company  which 
inaugurated  the  successful  career  of  this  theatre. 


112  Six  Years  of  Drama 


Tony  was  born  (in  the  nineteenth  day  of  February,  1869, 
in  the  city  of  Washington,  where  his  father  was  proprietor  of 
one  of  the  leading  hotels.  Neither  of  his  parents  had  any 
inclination  for  the  stage,  and  considering  his  recognized  suc- 
cess as  an  actor,  his  efforts  are  all  the  more  praiseworthy.  His 
early  experience  was  gained  wholly  with  amateurs,  but  his 
liking  for  the  work  was  so  great  tliat  he  selected  that  line  of 
business  for  his  career. 

lie  graduated  from  St.  John's  Military  Academy  at 
Alexandria,  \'a.,  in  1889,  and  secured  his  first  engage- 
ment from  answering  an  advertisement  in  a  newspaper,  joining 
the  company  without  the  knowledge  of  his  parents,  in  a  re- 
mote town  in  the  State  of  New  York.  The  engagement 
resulted  in  lea\-ing  Tony  several  himdred  miles  from  home 
with  only  seven  dollars  in  his  pocket.  He  was  successful  in 
reaching  Buffalo  and  secured  an  engagement  in  a  variety 
theatre  to  do  a  specialty,  making  a  hit.  His  pleasing  per- 
sonality brought  him  into  close  intimacy  with  the  manager 
and  he  eventually  was  appointed  manager  of  the  house. 

Leaving  Buffalo  he  joined  a  travelling  stock  company  and 
remained  with  it  two  years.  In  1895  he  joined  the  Frohmans 
and  his  recognized  professional  career  began.  He  was  play- 
ing a  short  engagement  in  a  Washington  stock  company  when 
he  was  engaged  to  organize  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock 
Comjxany  and  his  work  was  well  done. 

While  with  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Company  his  work 
is  well  known,  as  he  was  one  of  the  most  popular  men  ever 
engaged.  He  played  juvenile,  comedy  and  character  parts  and 
did  his  work  well.  No  attempt  will  be  made  to  record  any  of  his 
])arts ;  they  are  all  memories  that  need  no  awakening.  His 
siiflden  ending  is  mourned  by  all  the  company,  for  he  was 
held  in  high  esteem  by  his  associates. 


JAMES    A.  KEANE 

Mr.  Keane  was  born  in  San  Francisco,  and  after  a  good 
school  education  served  his  time  as  a  draughtsman  in  the  Union 
Iron  Works  of  his  native  city.  After  engaging  in  a  few  other 
business  ventures  he  took  out  a  theatrical  company  a  couple 
of  seasons,  and  was  successful.     This  turned  his  mind  towards 


Hi

the  stage,  and  he  made  his  prolcssional  debut  on  the  road 
with  the  Empire  Theatre  Stock  Company.  He  was  a  mem- 
ber of  James  CNeil's  Company  several  seasons,  playing-  juve- 
nile and  character  parts.  He  spent  st)me  time  in  stock  and 
repertoire  companies,  i)laying  a  \-ariety  of  i)arts  and  rolling 
iij")  experience. 

Ml".  Keane  pla)ed  at  the  Castle  S(|uare  Theatre  during 
the  summer  of  1900,  and  made  himself  a  faxorite  by  his  care- 
ful work.  Leaving  the  compan\-,  he  went  to  New  York  and 
played  a  number  of  engagements  with  more  or  less  financial 
success,  and  returned  to  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  in  April, 
1901,  and  stayed  somewhat  more  than  a  )car. 

Mr.  Keane  is  now  engaged  in  the  hardware  business  in 
San   Francisco. 

Mr.  Keane  is  of  a  \ery  nervous  temperament,  and  must 
be  on  the  move  at  all  times.  While  in  J^oston  he  spent  some 
of  his  surplus  energy  in  designing  and  building  a  "40-footer," 
much  of  the  actual  work  being  done  by  his  own  hands.  A 
great  lover  of  )'achting,  he  spends  liis  spare  time  on  tlie  water 
during  the  summer  .season. 

In  the  many  parts  played  at  the  Castle  Square  Theatre 
Mr.  Keane  showed  his  great  ability  as  an  actor,  and  went  into 
the  si)irit  of  his  characters  with  great   intensity. 


STANLEY    KENT 


Mr.  Kent  joined  the  company  during"  the  season  of  1898- 
1899,  playing"  small  parts,  and  wlicn  he  left  the  organization  in 
190 1  his  work  was  recognized  to  be  of  fine  quality.  His  first 
decided  hit  was  as  "Tom  J^linker  "  in  " 'i'he  Prodigal  Daugh- 
ter."    The  part  is  an  honest  stable  btjy,  and  an  opportunity  is 


Uii

offered  for  a  fine  bit  of  effective  work  which  Mr.  Kent  seized 
and  made  the  most  of  the  character. 

Mr.  Kent  was  seen  in  almost  every  play  put  on  during 
his  sojourn  and  secured,  by  his  acting,  a  host  of  friends.  It 
was  a  distinct  loss  to  the  company  when  failing  health  obliged 
him  to  cancel  his  engagement.  He  is  now  living  among  the 
mountains  of  WM-mont,  his  <^ld  home,  and  from  his  appearance 
on  occasional  tri[)s  to  Boston  one  is  assured  of  his  gradual 
restoration  to  complete  good  health. 

Mr.  Kent  is  a  great  favorite  with  the  members  of  t"he 
company,  and  his  condition  is  carefully  watched  at  all  times.

WILLIAM   CHARLES    MASSON 


Mr.  Masson  joined  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock 
Company  in  August,  1897,  and  stayed  more  than  a  year, 
doing  the  regular  assortment  of  second  parts  falUng  to  a  stock 
actor.  W^hile  with  the  company  he  showed  himself  very 
skilful  in  his  work,  taking  great   care  of  details,  often  making

a  point  in  a  line  that  would  bo  ovciiookcd  b)-  many  actors.  In 
fact,  it  was  in  these  little  details  that  much  of  his  success  was 
<;ained.  lie  was  at  his  best  in  character  work,  pa)ing  i;reat 
attention  to  make-up  and  coslume.  Mis  lines  were  always 
spoken  in  a  quiet  manner  that  was  very  effective. 


WILLIAM    PAUL 

Mr.  Paul  was  a  member  of  the  company  for  a  year  and  a 
half,  in  1899  and  1900.  At  the  time  of  his  death,  in  1901, 
he  had  been  on  the  stage  for  nearly  sixty  years.  With  the 
Castle  Square  Theatre  Stock  Company  his  opportunities  were 
not  xQYy  great,  although  he  wa-s  in  a  large    number  of  per-

formances.  Character  ultl  men  were  his  usual  parts,  and 
were  performed  with  a  skill  that  showed  his  many  years  of 
experience.  His  portrayal  of  "Owen  Hathaway"  in  "  May 
Blossom  ''  showed  him  at  his  best. 

Mr.  Paul  was  a  veteran  of  the  Civil  War,  having  seen 
service  in  the  naval  branch.  He  was  at  one  time  a  national 
officer  of  the  Naval  X'eterans'  Association. 

Congenial  at  all  times,  it  was  a  great  pleasure  to  listen 
to  his  reminiscences  of  staefe  life. 


ALBAN    W.   PURCELL 


Mr.  Purcell  was  a  member  of  the  Castle  Square  Theatre 
Stock  Company  during  1898,  and  was  occasionally  seen  in  the 
plays  in  which  there  was  a  part  suited  to  his  style  of  work. 
He  is  an  actor  of  long  experience  in  special  roles,  and  was

He  is  now  engaged  in  New  York  in  a  professional  way.

LEON  FAIRBROTHER 

Mr.  Fairbrothcr,  the  director  of  the  orchestra,  is  a  musi- 
cian of  abihty,  and  satisfactorily  performs  his  part  of  the  work. 
He  was  the  leader  of  the  orchestra  at  Music  Hall  and,  on 
account  of  the  death  of  Mr.  Heindl,  was  retained  in  his  posi- 
tion and  returned  to  the  Castle  Scjuare  Theatre  with  the 
company. 


124  Six  V::.\rs  of  Drama 


The  position  of  coiuluclor  in  a  slock  company  is  not 
confined  to  music  alone ;  it  requires  a  large  amount  of  execu- 
tive ability  as  well  as  a  knowledge  of  music.  Mr.  Fairbrother 
is  required  to  attend  rehearsals  and  i)ost  himself  on  tlie  music 
cues.  At  times  these  are  very  many  and  difficult  to  remem- 
ber, some  plays  having  over  a  lumdred,  and  requiie  constant 
attention.  He  also  makes  up  the  musical  program  each  week 
and  this  alone  takes  much  consideration,  U)v  the  ])rogram 
must  be  in  harmony  with  the  spirit  and  tinie  of  the  play.  A 
glance  at  the  musical  program  i)ertormed  each  week  will  gi\e 
an  idea  of  the  nature  of  this  work. 

In  many  pla\s  musicians  are  detailed  for  work  behind  the 
scenes,  and  special  music  has  to  be  arranged  to  suit  each 
separate  requirement.  All  this  work  has  to  be  attended  to 
by  the  musical  director.  While  the  musicians  are  on  duty 
only  during  the  performances,  the  conductor  is  on  duty  all 
the  time. 

If  one  can  but  imagine  the  effect  of  a  dramatic  perform- 
ance without  an  orchestra,  the  value  of  the  work  of  the  musi- 
cal director  may  be  appreciated. 

Under  Mr.  Fairbnjther's  baton  is  a  full  orchestra  of 
competent  musicians.  The  music  at  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  has  always  been  of  a  high  order.

MAX    HEINDL 


Mr.  Heindl,  whose  sudden  death  from  accident  cast  a 
gloom  over  the  Castle  Square  Theatre,  came  from  a  family 
whose  members  have  added  much  to  the  musical  history  of 
Boston.  He  was  the  conductor  of  the  orchestra  from  the 
first  performance  in  1897   until  his  death   on   the  last  day  of 


12f.  Six   Vkaks  ok  Dkama 


June,  1902,  and  his  connection  with  the  theatre  went  hack 
to  the  days  of  the  opera. 

Mr.  Heindl  was  born  October  i,  1878,  in  Jamaica  Plain. 
His  tendency  toward  music  caused  his  parents  to  give  him  a 
musical  rather  than  an  academic  education.  His  tather  was 
his  first  teacher,  and  later  he  studied  with  Mr.  Hirshfeldt  and 
Gustave  Strube.  His  first  engagement  was  with  the  (ilobe 
Theatre  Orchestra  as  first  violin.  Thence  he  went  to  the 
Park  Theatre.  His  first  appearance  at  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  was  as  first  violin  in  the  orchestra,  at  the  time  of 
the  opera.  He  then  acted  as  concert  master,  being  given  that 
position,  although  a  young  man,  owing  to  his  intimate  knowl- 
edge of  the  masters  and  to  his  cool  head. 

When  the  opera  season  closed  Mr.  Heindl  was  made 
director  of  the  orchestra.  Many  of  his  compositions  for  the 
piano  are  found  in  the  homes  of  the  musical  people  of  the 
city  and  have  had  a  wide  circulation. 

Mr.  Heindl  by  his  boyish  appearance  used  to  excite  com- 
ment among  visitors  to  the  theatre,  they  believing  it  impos- 
sible for  one  so  young  to  perform  the  duties  in  connection 
with  his  important  position.  An  hour  sufficed  to  prove  that 
Mr.  Heindl  was  a  most  capable  conductor.  He  was  a  per- 
former of  great  ability,  and  his  violin  solos  were  marvels  of 
the  musical  art. 

The  programs  of  music  on  the  following  pages  will  show 
a  taste  in  selection  and  an  appro])riateness  to  the  play  that 
make  them  of  value  in  a  book  of  this  sort. 

With  the  closing  of  the  Castle  Square  Theatre  for  the 
season,  and  at  the  end  of  the  last  performance  before  going  to 
Music  Hall,  Ma.\  Heindl  ended  his  musical  career.  An  acci- 
dent most  unfortunate  cut  (;ff  the  existence  of  a  gifted 
musician,  a  charming  companion,  a  dear  friend.

Mr.  Alexander,  the  genial  superintendent,  while  not  a 
member  of  the  dramatic  company,  is  so  well  known  to  the 
patrons  of  the  house  that  this  record  would  be  incomplete 
without  his  portrait.  To  him  is  entrusted  the  comfort  of  the 
audiences,  and  his  assistants  are  always  at  the  service  of  the 
patrons.

HOPE    ROSS 

Miss  Ross  was  engaged  by  the  Castle  Square  Theatre 
management  in  May,  1900,  and  stayed  with  the  company 
nearly  a  year,  playing  "ingenue"  and  "soubrette"  roles. 
1  Icr  personal  charms  won  for  her  the  good  will  of  the  audience, 
and  she  was  a  great  favorite  during  her  career  at  the  theatre. 
She  left  the  theatre  to  retire  permanently  from  the  stage. 
She  now  lives  in  the  Back  Bay  district  of  Boston,  and  thus  far 
stage  fever  has  not  broken  out  again,  although  it  is  said  that 
a  person  can  be  attacked  by  the  disease  more  than  once. 

Her  work  was  always  carefully  done,  and  her  influence 
was  felt  in  all  her  scenes.  She  will  be  remembered  in  the 
very  funny  song  at  the  minister's  donation  party  in  "The 
Milage  Postmaster."  In  her  "soubrette"  roles  she  was  re- 
markably effective.  As  an  "  ingenue  "  her  great  beauty  was 
shown  to  advantage,  and  she  played  with  an  archness  and 
piquancy  that  was  delightful  to  behold. 


HOWARD    HALL 

Mr.  Hall  was  an  original  member  of  the  Castle  Square 
Theatre  Stock  Company.  While  resting  between  seasons,  he 
was  prevailed  on  by  Mr.  Cummings  to  connect  himself  wdth 
the  organization,  and  helped  in  no  small  way  to  create  the 
initial  strength  of  the  company.  He  is  an  actor  of  much 
force,  and  has  been  very  successful  in  his  starring  tours.  A 
playwright  of  national  reputation,  many  of  his  plays  are  being 
produced  by  leading  actors  in  all  ]xu-ts  of  the  country. 

At  present  Mr.  Ihill  is  starring  in  "The  Man  Who 
Dares,"  a  romantic  drama  written  by  himself,  with  which  he 
is  doing  a  good  business.

Acthor's  Note.  Sheridan'.s  comedies  are  admittel  to  have  l)een  drawn  from 
life;  hence,  the  purpo.se  of  this  play  )s  to  introduce  some  of  his  originals,  some 
of  the  real  incidents  from  which  he  fashioned  his  scenes,  and  some  of  the  scenes 
which  he  copied  from  other  pieces.  Dramatic  license  has  been  used  to  connect 
Garrick  and  .Michael  Kelly  with  a  love-story,  of  which,  in  actual  life,  they  formed 
no  part,  and  to  make  the  production  of  "The  liivals  "  precede  the  marriage  of 
the  author.

A  Midnight  Bell 

The  author  bei^s  to  state  Ih's  is  a  k'nitiinate  comedy.  It  is  a  legitimate 
comedy  because  it  is  in  four  acts,  and  faico-conieilies  are  always  in  three.  Its 
presentation  will  doubtless  result  in  crippliuK  as  many  per  night  as  does  the 
average  farce-comedy,  but  remember  il  is  four  acts  and  tiiat  it  has  a  plot.  It 
may  be  argued  that  it  is  not  a  strong  plot,  that  it  is  not  a  particularly  interesting 
plot,  but  on  the  other  hand,  it  is  a  modern  and  unassuming  plot,  and  it  may 
serve  the  purpose  of  giving  some  slight  coherence  to  the  proceedings.  However, 
the  author  is  uolstreuuous  on  the  subject  of  his  plot.  If,  when  the  agony  is  over 
it  has  been  found  that  the  characters,  scenes, and  incidents  have  been  presented  in 
an  amusing  fashion,  the  author  will  be  satisfied,  and  have  no  feeling  regarding 
anything  that  may  be  said  about  the  plot.

Where  life's  dear  romances  are  moulded, 
A  youth  and  a  maid,  by  the  light  of  the  moon. 
That  sweetest  of  stories  unfolded. 
The  maid  plucked  the  rose,  as  an  emblem  of  love. 
And  pinned  to  his  coat  as  they  wended, 

Then  the  rose  sweetly  smiled  to  the  clear  running  stream. 
And  thus  its  life's  mission  was  ended."
